FRISCO, Texas — Police say Dallas Cowboys defensive end Sam Williams has been arrested on charges of possession of a controlled substance and unlawful carrying of a weapon. Police in the Dallas suburb of Frisco say the arrest was Sunday. The department declined to provide further details. Williams is still practicing with the Cowboys. Owner and general manager Jerry Jones says he doesn't see the second arrest for Williams this year affecting the 24-year-old's time on the field. Williams turned himself in to police in Plano, another Dallas suburb, in January on a reckless driving charge. The case stemmed from an accident a few days before Christmas last year.
