Katt Williams Arrested in Georgia for, No Joke, Burglary

'Friday After Next' comedian Katt Williams was arrested overnight after police say he broke into a home in suburban Atlanta and snatched various items including jewelry. Police have charged Williams with burglary and criminal trespassing, according to Coweta County Sheriff's Office Major James Yarbrough. He is being held there until a magistrate sets bond at an arraignment expected Monday afternoon.

Yarbrough outlined the incident to the press: On Sunday night, a homeowner in Newman, Ga. called police around 9 p.m. to report that Williams "gained entry by breaking into the home, and items were taken."
It's believed Williams is in Georgia working on a film, though there are no projects listed on his IMDB page. He lives in Woodland Hills, Calif.

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.



But lately the entertainer has gained as much attention for criminal troubles as for his quips.

He was briefly jailed last November after New York police who pull him over for driving without a license plate discovered three guns. Manhattan prosecutors dropped weapons charges in July after running into problems proving their case.

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.
