Comedian Katt Williams’ Sticky Fingers Land Him In Jail
Comedian Katt Williams was arrested for burglary and criminal trespassing in Georgia.
So I guess this “Pimp” has something new to add to his chronicles.
Williams, who is known for his off color comedy, also starred in a handful of TV shows and in a few flicks over the years.
I guess the revenue from those flicks, and his comedy act were not enough to tide ol’ Katt over, since he was recently caught knocking over a house and allegedlygrabbing $3,500 worth of bling and coins from a house.
Tsk tsk. Was someone too busy putting on airs, rather than watching their cash flow?
CNN writes:
Atlanta, Georgia (CNN) — Comedian Katt Williams was arrested on burglary and criminal trespass charges in a west Georgia community early Monday, according to police.
A police report said Williams, 38, used a crowbar to force his way into a home in a rural area about six miles west of Newnan, Georgia, late Sunday.
About $3,500 worth of jewelry and collectable coins were stolen, according to the report by the Coweta County, Georgia, Sheriff’s Department.
Williams, 38, smiled broadly while posing for a mug shot photo at the Coweta County jail.
His first court appearance is set for 4 p.m. ET Monday, when a magistrate will decide if Williams is eligible for bond, said Deborah Matthews, a Coweta County magistrate court spokeswoman.
Williams’ manager declined to comment.
Williams began his career as a stand-up comic, gaining attention in 1999 for comedy club appearances. Television appearances on the BET Network led to more success.
His 2006 HBO special “Katt Williams: Pimp Chronicles Pt.1″ raised his profile.
He has acted in several movies, including Eddie Murphy’s “Norbit.”
His often raunchy style has drawn comparisons to comedy legend Richard Pryor.
His DVD set — “It’s Pimpin’ Pimpin’,” — is scheduled for release this Wednesday, according to his Web site.
It’s kind of tough to come up with a good excuse for busting into a house with a crow bar in your hand. Perhaps Williams can pull a Winona Ryder, and say he was merely preparing for an upcoming movie role, and the crow bar he used to break in with was just a prop. Or maybe he can pull an “O.J.” and claim the stuff belonged to him?
Then again, his caper can also be used as new material for his stand up act.
Although most audiences wouldn’t find much humor in robbing a house. I guess that would depend on who the audience is. I bet his comedy routine would be off the hook in the clinker.
Will this be a career ender for Katt Williams?
He doesn’t look too worried in his mug shot below.
Will he end up as just a tiny blip on the radar screen of comedy?
Oh wait… he already is. *snicker*
