FOX 11 Los Angeles reports:

The FBI raided his Pasadena home Tuesday in connection with the investigation. No arrests have been made at this time.

The alleged bomb threat was made in September and Williams has been on leave since then.

The Mayor’s Office released the following statement that reads in part, “He was immediately placed on administrative leave. The Mayor takes this matter very seriously. When the threat was reported, LAPD investigated and determined there was no immediate danger. Following additional investigation, LAPD referred this matter to the FBI.”

According to a Los Angeles Police Department statement, the agency’s initial investigation determined Williams was likely the “source of the threat.”

“Mr. Williams strongly maintains his innocence and intends to vigorously fight the allegations,” his attorney, Dmitry Gorin said, according to CBS News.

“We urge the public to allow the investigative process to play out and not prejudge the facts of this case before they are known,” Gorin added.

Per CBS News:

On Wednesday, Deputy of Communications Zach Seidl confirmed Williams’ home was searched by FBI agents in response to a bomb threat he allegedly made earlier this year.

Williams was immediately placed on administrative leave, Seidl said.

The Los Angeles Police Department investigated the initial threat, and determined there was no “immediate danger,” Seidl said.

In a statement, the LAPD said “Due to the Department’s working relationship with Mr. Williams, the investigation was referred to the FBI. The FBI remains the investigating agency.”
