Man Wanted for Trespassing Arrested

TYLER — Tyler Police arrest a suspect wanted for criminal trespass. Kyle Garrett Williams, 30, Tyler was taken into custody Monday night without incident. The arrest came after a woman reported an intruder in her apartment. Officers were called to Town Village South at 200 Muller Garden just before 5:45 Monday morning. The 27-year-old victim said she was asleep with her small daughter when she heard a lot of banging inside her apartment. She told authorities she went to investigate and found a man inside her hot water heater closet trying to get out. The man reportedly told her he was just trying to get out and fled out the front door of her apartment.

Police say they recovered the Williams’ wallet inside the utility closet. Police then went to his apartment, within the same complex, to find him. At the suspect’s apartment, police found the suspect’s girlfriend, who was allegedly under the influence of narcotics. Officers say they observed crystal meth and heroin in plain view. The woman was identified as Mackenzie Leah Kerns, 21. Kerns was placed under arrest for possession of a controlled substance.

The investigation led officers to believe that Williams was also under the influence of narcotics and had been chasing an imaginary person into his attic. Police say Williams fell through the attic into the crawl space of the female victim’s apartment and removed a metal plate gaining access into her utility closet.
