Last week, local police were searching for a man connected to an attempted rape near the intersection of Meeker Ave and Kingsland, and had put up posters with the suspect’s face on them all over Greenpoint to try to help track him down. The man allegedly forced his way into a woman’s apartment, threatened that he had a knife and then demanded the woman perform sexual acts. His picture was captured on surveillance camera, and thanks to a tipster the police have apprehended Darryl Williams of Crown Heights. Williams’ family, however, is defending him. According to the NY Post, his uncle says: “He’s a good kid,” and continues, “He’s got a phenomenal background. He’s [got] a support system. I raised my nephew. They’re just blowing it up to something that it’s not.”
