LEOMINSTER — On the evening of Thursday, Nov. 6, 2025, Officer Robert Connors of the Leominster Police Department was dispatched to the DoubleTree hotel located at 99 Erdman Way following a report of a man refusing to leave the restaurant in the hotel and causing a disturbance.

Leominster Police Officers Tiffany Craven, Mackenson Adescar, and Sergeant John Bouchard were also dispatched to the scene.
“Dispatch advised while enroute that the male party had become physically aggressive towards security,” Officer Connors said.
Officer Connors said that when he arrived on scene, Officer Craven was speaking with the male suspect, identified as Dillon Williams.
According to police, Dillon W. Williams, 31, is a resident of Sunbury, Pennsylvania.
“Dillon was sitting on the ground in front of the DoubleTree main entrance swearing and yelling and appeared to be intoxicated,” Officer Connors said. “It is important to note that multiple guests at the hotel stopped to watch Dillon as he was yelling on the ground.”
Officer Craven asked Williams multiple times to stand up and provide identification, Officer Connors said.
“Eventually, Dillon agreed to stand up, but stated he would not provide his information unless he could do so in private,” Officer Connors said. “Sergeant Bouchard had Dillon step off to the side where he felt comfortable providing his ID to Officer Craven.”
At this time, Officer Connors said he observed a pocketknife clipped to Williams’ back left pocket.
“I informed Sergeant Bouchard that Dillon had the pocketknife in his back pocket, and Sergeant Bouchard moved behind Dillon,” Officer Connors said. “While Officer Craven was calling in Dillon’s information, Dillon began to reach inside his pockets. I told Dillon to keep his hands out of his pockets. Dillon continued to reach inside his pockets, and Sergeant Bouchard asked Dillon if he heard me tell him to get his hands out of his pocket.”
Officer Connors said Williams ignored his commands and grabbed the knife in his left back pocket.
“At this time, Sergeant Bouchard, Officer Adescar, and I grabbed Dillon’s arms,” Officer Connors said. “Dillon tried to pull his arms away and was trying to step forward to get out of officer’s grips. I ordered Dillon to take the knife out of his hand, as he was still grabbing the knife inside his pocket. Dillon shouted, ‘my knife’ and continued to grab his pocket. Officer Adescar, Sergeant Bouchard, and I then brought Dillon down to the ground, where he continued to pull against officers.”
Officer Adescar then handcuffed Williams.
“I took the knife from Dillon’s back pocket and put it off to the side,” Officer Connors said. “Dillon was informed that he was being placed under arrest for disorderly conduct. Officer Adescar and I went to place Dillon into Officer Adescar’s marked cruiser to be transported back to the station.”
Officer Connors then placed Williams’ property, including the pocketknife, inside Officer Adescar’s cruiser, and Officer Adescar transported Williams to the Leominster Police Department for booking.
Officer Connors said Williams was trespassed from the DoubleTree on Erdman Way for one year by the manager.
Dillon Williams was arrested and charged with the following:
- Disorderly Conduct
- Resisting Arrest
Williams was arraigned in Leominster District Court on Nov. 7, 2025. Following his arraignment, he was released on personal recognizance under the condition that he stay away from the DoubleTree on Erdman Way’s bar.
Williams failed to appear for a pretrial conference hearing scheduled for Nov. 24, 2025, and a default warrant was issued for his arrest.
