Former Illini guard Da’Monte Williams is one of Peoria’s newest police officers.
WEEK-TV sports director Jim Mattson posted photos on X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, on Monday of Williams at the swearing in ceremony.
Illinois head coach Brad Underwood later quote-tweeted it, saying “So proud of you Monte! You were always a leader for our team, great to see you now leading in the Peoria community and making a difference in your hometown.”
