Former Ohio State defensive back Marcus Williamson was arrested by the Memphis Police Department and charged with two counts of aggravated robbery, one count of aggravated kidnapping and one count of tampering with or fabricating evidence, according to Shelby County (Tenn.) Sheriff’s Office records.

According to a report by 10TV, “a woman told the Memphis Police Department an unknown man kidnapped her and took her wallet and phone on Aug. 18. The victim told police the man, identified as 23-year-old Marcus Williamson, forced her to drive him to an ATM where he gave the victim her debit card back. Williamson then told the woman to withdraw $500 from the ATM, which she did.”

More details from 10TV:

Williamson told the woman to get out of her vehicle and drove off, according to the affidavit.

Authorities found the woman's vehicle being driven by Williamson the following day, pulling into a car wash. Williamson exited the vehicle and was seen throwing away items into a trash can before officers arrested him, the affidavit says.

Officers pulled the items out of the trash can and confirmed they belonged to the victim.

Police presented a six-person photo lineup to the victim who identified Williamson as the individual officers arrested as the person who kidnapped, robbed and carjacked her.

Among the items pulled out of the trash at the car wash was a room key for a hotel in Memphis. Officers executed a search warrant at the hotel room and found Williamson's identification, the affidavit says.

Williamson played for the Buckeyes from 2017-21. He started 14 games in the Buckeyes’ secondary between the 2020 and 2021 seasons, but left the team prior to last season’s Rose Bowl. He announced his retirement from football in the midst of the Rose Bowl, during which he sent out numerous tweets that were critical of the Ohio State football program.

Per Shelby County records, Williamson’s court hearing has been scheduled for Sept. 7.
