DA's office: Ex-Redding police corporal arrested on felony pot charges


Authorities arrested a former Redding police corporal Thursday in connection with a large-scale marijuana cultivation and distribution operation in Shasta County, the District Attorney s Office said.
The former officer, 54-year-old Will Williams, was arrested on felony charges by investigators with the California Highway Patrol and the Shasta County District Attorney s Bureau of Investigation, the DA s office said. 
The arrest arises from two felony cases tied to a 2020 investigation into the marijuana growing operation at a warehouse.
During the course of the narcotics investigation, investigators became aware that Williams had surreptitiously recorded a confidential communication in an unrelated matter, the DA s office said on its Facebook page.
