The fuck was he thinking?

Comedian Katt Williams jailed in Ga. over burglary

By DIONNE WALKER (AP) – 31 minutes ago

ATLANTA — Comedian and rapper Katt Williams remained jailed Monday in suburban Atlanta after police said they arrested the entertainer for breaking into a home and stealing thousands of dollars worth of jewelry and coins.

Williams, who police say is 38, is charged with burglary and criminal trespassing, according to Coweta County Sheriff's Office Maj. James Yarbrough.

A Coweta County magistrate set bond at more than $41,000 Monday afternoon. A detention officer at Coweta County Jail confirmed Williams remained in custody after the hearing.

Yarbrough said the Sunday night incident happened at a home in Newnan, about 38 miles southwest of Atlanta. Yarbrough said the victim — identified in a police report as Daniel Broach — called police around 9 p.m. to report the comedian broke into his home and stole items.

Williams had a crowbar when he entered and is accused of taking $3,555 in jewelry and collectable coins.

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 in November 2008 after New York police said officers discovered three guns in Williams' car after pulling him over for driving without a license plate. 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.

Williams lives in Woodland Hills, Calif.

Yarbrough said police believe the entertainer was in Georgia working on a film.

Damn, like 5% of his shit is funny, he just banks on stupid stereotypes and says "nigga" a lot.
He got too big, and either this is a publicity stunt, or he's just a complete dipshit.

When kThis is funny. He keeps it gangsta.

He is so gangsta after the comedy show he'll be robbin your house while you are sleeping / away.....

He got a respectable enough career (some people tolerate him less), hes on t.v. and stuff.....he can get by without breaking in to houses. Maybe quit buying those damn pimp suits.

Never the less.....

When Katt said "everyday im hustlin" and did that intro for that one comedy special.....I think he really meant that shit...and this is him backin it up.

Not doing stupid shit like........DUI's like you see a lot of stars get, or simple drug charges. But real crimes, burglary, stealing jewelery, multiple felonies on guns.

Although I will say if he was driving around without proper plates and shit hes just askin to get fucked in the ass in that one charge.

Your car needs to be legit or you can't be out doing illegal things.

nahh hes not:

Atlanta, Georgia (CNN) -- Comedian Katt Williams was a guest -- not a burglar -- at the Georgia home he is now accused of breaking into with a crowbar, his lawyer told CNN.

The house, on a horse farm in rural west Georgia, is owned by record producer Barry Hankerson, according to the police report.

Williams has been living in the Coweta County, Georgia, home for nearly a month while filming a movie produced by Hankerson, attorney William Briggs said.

Williams, 38, was arrested early Monday after an employee of Hankerson's -- Daniel Paul Broach -- called police and reported Williams had broken into the home with a crowbar, the police report said.

A Coweta County magistrate set bail at $40,000 in a hearing Monday afternoon, which lawyers were working to post, Briggs said.

The police report said about $3,500 in jewelry and collectable coins were stolen, which his lawyer said "we absolutely deny."

"Mr. Williams wears more than that in jewelry on his person," Briggs said.

Briggs said Williams argued with the employee, prompting the burglary report.

Hankerson spoke with investigators Monday afternoon to assure them Williams had his permission to stay indefinitely in the home he was accused of burglarizing, Briggs said.

Alan Clarke, the Georgia lawyer who presented Williams in court, said Williams' bond papers were being prepared.

"The community and law enforcement have been very welcoming and kind to him," Clarke said. "This is a misunderstanding which will work out quickly."

Williams smiled broadly while posing for a mug shot photo at the Coweta County jail early Monday.

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 to a higher level.

He has acted in several movies -- including Eddie Murphy's "Norbit" -- and he is the voice of popular cartoons -- including "The Boondocks."

His often raunchy style has drawn comparisons to comedy legend Richard Pryor.

His most recent CD release is "It's Pimpin' Pimpin'," according to his Web site.

Williams' was hospitalized in South Carolina in November 2008. His publicist at the time said it was for fatigue following a grueling road tour.
