James Elbert Williams, Cory Lake Drive, was first arrested July 1 after a client said she was inappropriately touched during a personal training session June 27 at Club Tone, Linebaugh Avenue. Williams posted bail July 2 and subsequently fled the Sunshine State as other women began to come forward. Authorities issued a warrant for his arrest and caught up with him yesterday in Arkansas. He was booked at the Pulaski County Jail.
