Black Comic Genius Katt Williams jailed in Ga. over burglary
Is this another sign of the recession, or is this the side affects of Katts’ rumored bi-polar disorder? You know what happens to some folks when they stop taking their meds…
Comedian Katt Williams was arrested Sunday night in Atlanta on charges of burglary and criminal trespassing. According to police authorities, Williams allegedly broke into a house and attempted to steal jewelry and other items.
Williams, whose real name is Micah S. Katt Williams, is known for his roles in the movies “Friday After Next” and “Norbit.” His comedy DVD, “Katt Williams: Pimpadelic,” was no. 8 in the nation for sales during the week of Oct. 30, according to Nielsen/VideoScan.
It’s not the comedian’s first brush with the law. A year ago cops found 3 guns in his car after Williams was pulled over for driving without a license plate. A couple years before that he was busted trying to sneak a gun onto an airplane.
Again…it’s the meds fault, not Katt’s.
According to Coweta County Sheriff’s Office Major James Yarbrough, from a report he gave to the AP, a deputy at the Coweta County Jail confirmed Williams was being held there and that a magistrate was expected to set bond at an arraignment Monday afternoon.
Here is a quote directly from the AP report…
Yarbrough said the Sunday night incident happened at a home in Newman, about 38 miles southwest of Atlanta. Yarbrough said the unidentified homeowner called police around 9 p.m. to report the comedian “gained entry by breaking into the home, and items were taken from the residence.”
Yarbrough said police believe the entertainer was in Georgia working on a film.
A judge sentenced Williams to three years’ probation in 2006 after he pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor count of carrying a concealed firearm. Authorities had arrested Williams on Nov. 6 at Los Angeles International Airport after finding a gun in his briefcase.
Williams lives in Woodland Hills, Calif.
Williams is best known for his appearances in the Friday movies and for his Pimp Chronicles.
No bail has been set for this charge at press time.
I want to shout out Katt Williams and hope the best for you man.I have been thoroughly entertained by him, so I hope he can get it back on the one….
