Dorina Williams, of Mullins, SC died at the hospital on January 15th after she was involved in a fight with loss prevention personnel at the Conway, SC Walmart. The coroner’s office says Williams died of natural causes, but further test results are pending. According to at least one report, Williams was being physically restrained by store loss prevention personnel when she collapsed.

Williams was being apprehended for shoplifting at the time of the incident. She was allegedly observed by store loss prevention personnel shoplifting merchandise along with a juvenile suspect. It is still unclear how the fight started, but police confirmed that a juvenile was arrested and charged with shoplifting and assault and battery following the incident.

Williams had an extensive criminal record, dating back to 1994, when she was charged by the Mullins County Sheriff’s Office with resisting arrest, assault on an officer and giving false information. In all, Williams had 26 charges, including at least 2 felony shoplifting charges. Williams’ sentences included suspended sentences and active jail time.

Apparently, the juvenile, who may have been Williams’ daughter, was involved in both the shoplifting and the fight.

Understandably, the family of Dorina Williams is looking for answers in this case. Anyone with information should contact Conway, SC Police Department.
