Investigators say the owner of the Toyota 4Runner saw his missing vehicle, followed it, and alerted deputies. Williams then struck the owner of the Toyota 4Runner, who was following him in another vehicle, before traveling down a long driveway. He then got out and fled. Deputies on the scene say they chased Williams, who produced a shotgun and fired at Madera County Sheriff K-9 Obie. Obie was transported to an emergency veterinarian clinic in Fresno. An exchange of gunfire ensued and Williams was struck. Deputies say he was transported by helicopter to a Fresno hospital with non-life-threatening injuries. Deputies say Williams was later arrested on suspicion of violation of probation and assault with a deadly weapon. As of Thursday morning, officials say K-9 Obie is expected to make a full recovery following an extensive rehabilitation period. The Madera County Sheriff’s Office says the Madera Police Department will conduct an outside independent criminal investigation, as is procedure with officer-involved shootings.
