Williams went into the Gander Mountain store off Outlet Mall Boulevard on Tuesday morning, took a Beretta pistol and a box of ammunition and left the store, deputies said.
Williams then went to Bozard Ford Lincoln next door and asked to test drive a pickup truck, according to authorities.
Deputies said Williams pointed a gun at a salesman and demanded the keys to a 2016 Ford F-350 pickup. As he was about to leave, Williams was surrounded by deputies with their guns drawn.
