William was a person of interest early on, and actually fled New Jersey to upstate New York, where he was apprehended.
Police sources say they are looking to question Giants Janoris Jenkins’ brother William Jenkins who has fled the state of NJ. Police are asking William Jenkins to come back voluntarily for questioning. It’s believed he is in Florida. #giants— Dianna Russini (@diannaESPN) June 27, 2018
I spoke to witnesses on the plane leaving Newark two nights ago on which a man claiming to be Janoris Jenkins' brother was on (but did get off the plane before it took off because he claimed to be too nervous to fly) they say his picture matches the same guy. #giants.— Dianna Russini (@diannaESPN) June 27, 2018
According to public records, Williams is on parole in New York for prior convictions on charges of the criminal sale and possession of controlled substances, both class B felonies under New York state law.
