Arrested In Seattle – Comedian Katt Williams Lands In Jail
Katt Williams‘ aggressive behavior landed him in the pokey on Sunday. The comedian, who was in town performing, got into an argument with a couple in a Seattle bar that escalated into what sounds like a scene from Cops. Here’s what went down in the bizarre scene.
Williams was playing pool at the World Sports Grille when he and a couple got into a verbal altercation. Things got out of hand, and the bar manager stepped in to separate them. Williams brandished his pool cue in the manager’s face. He then followed a family outside to their car, flicked a cigarette into the face of one of the family members, and threw a rock at the vehicle.
When police arrived, according to CNN, Williams became even more agitated. He made a fuss, refused to show ID (although later officers found his passport on him), threatened the officer’s job and ended up “on the ground” at one point.
Williams was booked at King County Jail and released early Monday.
The Seattle incident is just the most recent in a string of strange behaviors by the comedian. In October, he was questioned for allegedly pulling a gun on actor Faizon Love. Last month he was arrested for alleged battery in Oakland; two days later, he melted down during a performance there. In the span of 10 minutes he “confronted a heckler, took his clothes off and attempted to fight at least three audience members.” Several days later, he led Sacramento cops on a chase through town after he was seen driving a three wheeled motorcycle on the sidewalk and refused to pull over.
The next stop on his current tour takes him to Houston and then New Orleans. He’s sure to make some news there.

Following an arduous 300 shows and an 18-month truoing schedule that left him incredibly fatigued, Katt felt compelled to be with his family in an effort to deal with his stress. While doing so, he is under a doctor’s care. As this is a private and personal matter, we hope the media will respect his family’s request for privacy.
