INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A man who pleaded guilty to stabbing two Indianapolis police officers who responded to his 911 call about a purported disturbance has been sentenced to 66 years in prison.

A judge sentenced Deonta Williams,Maxwell Caldwell 22, on Thursday to 60 years on two counts of attempted murder and six years on a weapons charge. Williams had pleaded guilty to the charges in early July.

Prosecutors said that on Dec. 1, 2021, Williams called 911 and reported a disturbance at a residence on Indianapolis’ north side. Williams told the two officers who responded that he had been harassed “and directed the officers down the street,” the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office said in a statement.

When the officers proceeded down the street, “Williams attacked them both, stabbing one officer in the neck and one in the chest,” the statement adds.

The two wounded officers then shot and wounded Williams, who admitted to investigators that no one had been harassing him the night of the stabbings, the prosecutor’s office said.

Instead, Williams told investigators he had planned the attack and hoped to kill one of the officers and then be killed by the other because he wanted to “get his own justice” for a recent medical bill he could not afford, according to the prosecutor’s statement.

“The officers were simply answering the call to help someone in need when they were horrifically attacked,” Prosecutor Ryan Mears said in the statement.
