Smith-Williams had an active Lake County Warrant ($300,000.00 bond) for armed robbery (class X felony), aggravated discharge of a firearm (class 1 felony), and aggravated battery (class 1 felony), stemming from an incident which occurred in Zion on January 14, 2017.

Brown, 31 of Zion, was also located at the residence. Brown had an active failure to appear arrest warrant for traffic offenses ($24,000.00 bond). 

Smith-Williams and Brown were both taken into custody without incident.
