October 10, 2018 Page 15 Former Dean Dies Man Killed Leaving Comedy Show C ontinueD from P age 2 adult female shooting victim was transported to a separate hospital in a separate car. While at the hospital, Jones, was determined to have died. The other two victims sustained se- rious but non-life-threatening inju- ries, police said. About a half hour earlier, that same evening, the comedian Wil- liams had allegedly assaulted his town car driver at Portland Inter- national Airport after an argument about transporting him and his dog to the concert. On Monday Williams plead- ed not guilty to the assault charge. That same day, his alleged victim and limo driver, Wali Kanani, filed a $76,000 lawsuit against the co- median, which stated that Williams was insisting his German shepherd sit in the front passenger seat. When the driver told Williams he was uncomfortable with that, Williams punched him in the face and called him a “piece of (expletive)” and “white trash,” the suit said. Kanani was then chased by Wil- liams and his dog to the terminal, where the driver locked the glass door to keep them away, court doc- uments said. He suffered cuts and swelling to the face, and was treat- ed at a local hospital, police said, while Williams, his dog, and his colleagues, departed in a separate vehicle. Williams was located and appre- hended Saturday morning. In ad- dition to the fourth-degree assault charge, an outstanding warrant from Georgia also kept the Emmy-win- ning comedian and actor, whose le- gal name is Mica Sierra Williams, lodged at the Multnomah County Jail.
