Kaufman County , Texas ( CNN ) -- It was , in the words of local newspaper reporter Denise Bell , a `` megatrial for a little community . '' A justice of the peace , accused of ripping off taxpayers , labeled `` dishonorable '' by a top prosecutor after his conviction last year and stripped of his job and his law license . Now , amid an even larger investigation into the deaths of two Kaufman County prosecutors this year , that former official , Eric Williams , is jailed on $ 3 million bond -- charged with two counts of insufficient bond and one count of making a `` terroristic threat . '' Authorities have n't explained the charges and they have not said if Williams ' arrest over the weekend is related to the investigation into the deaths of District Attorney Mike McLelland , McLelland 's wife , Cynthia , and Mark Hasse -- the prosecutor who last year accused Williams of `` using Kaufman County as his own piggy bank . '' Hasse , Kaufman County 's chief felony prosecutor , died in a brazen daytime shooting outside the courthouse January 31 . Someone shot McLelland , the county 's district attorney , and his wife , Cynthia , late last month at their Forney , Texas , home . Authorities have not named a suspect or a motive for the killings . Federal , state and local authorities looking into the killings searched Williams ' home on Friday , according to an FBI spokeswoman . A day later , Texas Rangers and FBI agents combed through a storage facility in Seagoville , Texas , on a search warrant also tied to the prosecutors ' deaths , the spokeswoman said . CNN affiliates KTVT and WFAA , citing anonymous sources , said authorities found 20 weapons and a white Ford Crown Victoria in the storage unit . The car , KTXA reported , matches the description of one seen near the McLellands ' home around the time of their deaths . Authorities have not named Williams as a suspect in the deaths . Nor have they said the storage locker search had anything to do with the former justice of the peace , who has denied any involvement in the deaths through his attorneys and in interviews with local media . On Friday , Williams ' attorney , David Sergi , released a statement saying his client `` has cooperated with law enforcement and vigorously denies any and all allegations . He wishes simply to get on with his life and hopes that the perpetrators are brought to justice . '' Sergi did not respond to repeated e-mail and telephone messages over the weekend and Monday seeking comment on developments in the case . In March 2012 -- almost a year before McLelland 's death -- Hasse and McLelland played prominent roles in prosecuting Williams on one count of burglary and one count of theft by a public official . Accused of stealing computer equipment from a county building , he was convicted and sentenced to two years of probation . After the trial , McLelland rejoiced that the conviction showed the county 's `` good ol ' boy network is gone , '' according to media reports . Hasse called Williams `` dishonorable '' and a liar , according to the reports . But in a statement filed with the court after his conviction , Williams denied the thefts and called the loss of his law license `` a life long sentence . '' `` I will have to seek another career , with a felony I will not be able to earn what I am used to , '' he said , adding that it would be his wife , who he said was on disability , and his aging parents who would suffer the most . In a recent interview with North Texas TV station KXAS , Williams said he bore no ill will toward Hasse or McLelland , saying he felt the officials were just `` doing their jobs . '' But Bell , a reporter for The Forney Post , said McLelland told her before his death that he thought Williams was responsible for Hasse 's death . He divulged his suspicion , she says , while cautioning her to be careful . Why ? `` Because I sat in the front row and covered this trial for 10 days , '' she told CNN .
Authorities have not named former Kaufman County official a suspect in DA 's death . Eric Williams was arrested over the weekend after a search of his home . Another search at a storage locker turned up Williams , too , CNN affiliates report . DA Mike McLelland and his wife died last month , two months after assistant DA 's death .
