Ted Williams and Daughter Exchange Accusations, Insults

In barely a week, Ted Williams has gone from random homeless man to national folk hero. But might the shine be coming off the golden-voiced ex-con? His story is slowly devolving into Jerry Springer territory, as Williams and his daughter were detained by police this week for a hotel shouting match.
