Racine woman after hammer attack: "I don't know why I did that- I love him"

The Newton County Prosecuting Attorney's office filed a second-degree assault charge against a Racine woman who allegedly, without provocation, hit a man over the head with a hammer.

An arrest warrant was issued for Nikkayla Rachell Williams (DOB 1993) with no bond.

From the probable cause statement:

I made contact with Vl who had his head covered with a t-shirt because he was bleeding. Vl stated he was working on wood inside the garage, while Williams was sitting on a mushroom chair. 

Vl stated that Williams grabbed a hammer and hit him on the top of his head without being provoked. Vl said Williams hit him without warning or reason and assaulted him. Vl wished to pursue charges against Williams. 

{Two witnesses} were contacted in reference to the event, and advised they saw Williams hit Vl in the head with the hammer for no reason. 

I mirandized Williams and I asked her what happened. 

"I don't know what happened." Williams advised she, "blacked out, I didn't mean to hurt Vl." Williams stated repeated multiple times, "I don·t know why I did that. I love him; he has never hurt me." 

Vl was taken to the hospital by ambulance for medical treatment, due to the injury to his head. I arrested Williams for the assault.

The case was investigated by the Newton County Sheriff's Office.

According to Newton County Circuit Court records, this is not the only pending assault charge against Williams.

Williams was free on bond after being charged with third-degree assault in December, another case investigated by the Newton County Sheriff's Office. 

The probable cause statement in that case does not indicate whether the victim is the same man.

Upon arriving at the residence, I found Victim #1 sitting on his living room couch bleeding from his head. Victim #1 was consistently bleeding from all over his head. Victim #1 was being cleaned by Involved Other #2. 

Victim #1 informed me he was assaulted by Nikkayla. Victim #1 stated Nikkayla came into his bedroom with a warm pot of water and dumped it on him while he was laying down on his bed. Victim #1 informed me Nikkayla got into his face and started talking about fentanyl. 

Victim #1 stated Nikkayla picked up something heavy and hit him as hard as she could with an object. Involved Other #2 came out of Alfred's room and brought me a wooden block that was lying on the ground. 

Involved Other #2 asked Victim #1 if the wooden block was the weapon used on him and he stated yes. I collected the wooden block as evidence after pictures were taken. 

Victim #1 informed me Nikkayla sprayed Raid bug spray into his eyes and mouth during the assault. I collected the Raid bug spray canister as evidence after pictures were taken.
