On April 2, 2018, Williams was arrested along with Martin J. Connors, an Alabama lobbyist, and G. Ford Gilbert, a businessman in California. According to a press release from the United States Department of Justice, Gilbert's California-based company, Trina Health LLC, opened three diabetes treatment centers in Alabama. After being informed that the Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama would not cover treatments provided at the clinics, Gilbert paid Connors and then-House Majority Leader Micky Hammon to support legislation (HB415 from the state's 2016 legislative session) that would require Blue Cross to cover the treatments. Williams, who was chairman of the House Commerce and Small Business Committee at the time, knew of the payments to Hammon and held a public hearing on the bill. Williams, Connors, and Gibert were charged with conspiracy to commit bribery related to federal programs, conspiracy to commit honest services wire fraud, and honest services wire fraud. Connors and Gilbert were also charged with bribery related to federal programs, and Gilbert was additionally charged with wire fraud, health care fraud, and interstate travel in aid of racketeering. Hammon was not charged because he was already convicted of other charges in federal court.
