The embattled comedian and actor Katt Williams was arrested in the early morning hours on Sunday, July 24 at the Sportsmen’s Lodge Restaurant in affluent Sherman Oaks, California for misdemeanor battery after allegedly attacking a restaurant employee. Williams was taken into custody at the scene, where a female employee claimed the comedian had attacked and punched her. Law enforcement sources claim the woman displayed visible, but minor injuries, and Williams was subsequently arrested for misdemeanor battery. He is currently in custody with bail set at $20,000. This is is hardly the first time Williams has lashed out and been hit with battery-related charges. His last outburst occurred in April, when he was arrested following a brawl with employees at a seafood restaurant in Atlanta. The newly reported California arrest marks the fifth arrest for Williams in just the last 4 ½ months; after reportedly engaging in a nasty altercation with a 17-year-old, allegedly assaulting one of his bodyguards, and supposedly punching an employee at a pool supply store. Previous reports state the star has also been accused of holding five women at gunpoint after they tried to film a meeting with him. With the past catching up with him, the embattled 42-year-old is due to stand trial for a felony count of robbery after allegedly stealing a camera from a photographer in Beverly Hills, California in 2014, during a night out with incarcerated rap mogul Marion “Suge” Knight.
