Former Texans No. 1 Pick Mario Williams Arrested for Allegedly Trespassing in Woman's Home
By Daniel Marcillo
Safe to say the former 2006 No. 1 pick and four-time Pro Bowler is not adjusting to retirement too well.
Mario Williams was arrested in Katy, TX on Tuesday after allegedly entering a woman's house without permission.

Williams caused a commotion by breaking in and yelling at the woman, which was followed by immediate chaos. The former NC State star is still a very large man at 6-7 and 290-lbs, and if the woman's account of events is correct, this would surely intimidate and make her feel uncomfortable, to say the least. The 34-year-old is accused of making a copy of the woman's universal remote as a means to enter the property without permission.
Williams court date is set for Aug. 26 after he was freed from jail by posting his $100 bail. Williams will be assigned a mental health professional since he broke a restraining order as well.
