Shawne Williams chose not to hide behind a written statement about his arrest earlier this week.

The contrite second-year Indiana Pacers forward held a news conference at Conseco Fieldhouse on Friday and said he "expected to be held accountable" for his actions during his arrest following a traffic stop.

"It's been devastating," Williams said. "I feel like I let my organization, my teammates, down, along with the Simon brothers and my family."
