Ex-Jayhawk Williams Exposes Himself

HUTCHINSON, Kan. (AP) _ Former University of Kansas basketball player Billy ``B.J.'' Williams was given a six-month suspended prison sentence for exposing himself to neighbors.

Williams also was placed on a year's probation.

Reno County District Judge William Lyle followed the recommendations of both the prosecutor and defense attorney in pronouncing the sentence Thursday.

Williams played for the Jayhawks from 1994 through 1997 and graduated with a bachelor's degree. He moved in 1998 to Hutchinson, where he lived with his wife and their two children.

Witnesses told police that Williams stood in front of the picture window at his apartment with a towel around his waist. Williams waited until someone looked in the window and then dropped the towel, exposing himself.

The 23-year-old Williams pleaded guilty in January to one count of lewd and lascivious behavior. As part of a plea agreement, an additional felony and three misdemeanor charges were dropped.
