A professor at Utah Valley University cheated – just a little! jumped ahead of the line! – at the golf course, and when called on it by rule-abiding golfer Timothy Deason, got annoyed:
Deason told police Williams hit him on the back of the head with a golf club, breaking the club and knocking Deason to the ground. While he was down, Black [Williams’ golfing buddy] hit Deason in the back with a golf club and Williams stabbed him in the back of his left thigh with the shaft of the broken golf club, the affidavit states.
But hell. UVU put him on leave while he was in jail and all, but now that he’s paid a fine and gone on probation, it’s time to come home!
At the time of the incident Williams was working as a full-time associate professor of aviation at Utah Valley University. [Here’s his way-sketchy faculty page.] He … has since returned to work.
Cheating, and then beating a man bloody when he challenges your right to cheat! If there’s one place this man belongs, it’s back in a classroom.

Please get your facts straight before you malign an innocent man. The gentleman “beaten” was intoxicated (refused a breathalizer test) and began the incident. He proceeded to shout obscenities and was threatening this man’s friend; Brice intervened on his friend’s behalf, though only a few months out of the hospital from a car accident that left him in a coma for three days.
Check the medical report about the tiny scratch on the thigh that Mr. Deason insisted required stitches. Ask the Emergency room doctor how the man insisted on several CAT scans attempting to find something with which to accuse the two gentlemen who were trying to defend themselves.
Inquire as to Mr. Deason’s connection with the Provo Police department. And realize that this man is also 20 and 15 years younger than the gentlemen he insisted attacked him.
Understand that a felony conviction would destroy a person’s ability to work. Talk to a lawyer about the wisest course of action given the circumstances.
The papers are wrong. They never interviewed the men in question. Don’t believe everything you read in this day of sensationalism. And stop slandering two good men. Or talk to them and find out what really happened.
