Comedian Katt Williams is arrested AGAIN, this time accused of attacking a female employee at a hotel restaurant in California




Katt Williams is in trouble again. This time, the troubled comedian was arrested Sunday after he allegedly attacked a woman in California, TMZ reported.  

The incident happened at the restaurant of the Sportsmen's Lodge, a Los Angeles-area hotel.

A female employee with visible minor injuries told cops she was arrested and requested Williams be arrested for battery, according to TMZ.

Williams, 44, is in police custody charged with misdemeanor battery, the website reported.
He is being held, while cops investigate, in lieu of $20,000 bail.
This is yet another of Williams' many arrests this year alone.

The first incident Williams was charged with occurred in February of this year when he allegedly attacked an employee at a pool supply store.

He was charged in Florida with battery, hindering a 911 call and disorderly conduct after he allegedly threw a pair of googles and then later punched the unidentified man following an argument at the store.
Sgt. Kevin Holbrook, of the Gainseville PD, said Williams was 'lying on the ground with his hands behind his back as though he was ready to go to jail' when officers arrived at the store, but 'not forthcoming with any information.'

He was booked into jail and later released on $5,000 bond.
Williams did not manage to stay out of trouble for very long however, racking up three arrests in March alone.

He was then charged with disorderly conduct after he engaged in a fist fight with a teenager.
Video of the fight between Willliams and 17-year-old Luke Wash, who despite his age is reportedly in the seventh grade, is what led authorities to arrest him for the incident.

He appeared in court in March following the incident and was released on $500 bond.
Williams was told by Judge Elizabeth Reisman during that appearance; 'I really don't think you want to see me anymore and I don't want to see you back in my court.  

The comedian has a long and varied arrest record, and in early March was picked up on charges of aggravated assault, terrorist threats, and false imprisonment after an incident in Georgia where he allegedly threatened to kill a man police believe worked as his bodyguard.
Williams' legal troubles do not end there either, as he is set to stand trial in a Los Angeles courtroom in the near future on a robbery charge.

That charge came in September 2014 after a photographer accused Williams and his good friend Suge Knight of stealing her camera after she allegedly took a photo of Knight's young son.
Knight, who is already behind bars on a murder charge for his alleged role in a hit-and-run incident in Compton last January, is also charged with making threats to the photographer.
The men have both entered pleas of not guilty in that case.     

Williams is also looking at a possible battery charge in Los Angeles after he allegedly hit a man outside his hotel in early April.
TMZ reports that Williams told police he was inside his hotel when he witnessed a car crash outside, and rushed down to try and help any possible victims.

That is when Williams claims a group of tall 'rappers' began to mock his 5'5" stature. He claims that he then told the men to shut up, at which point one punched him leading him to hit back in self defense.
Other charges since 2006 include carrying a concealed firearm, burglary and criminal trespass, felony intimidation of a witness, assault with a deadly weapon, child endangerment, and multiple other assaults in addition to those mentioned above.

Despite this lengthy list of arrests and serious charges, Williams has managed to avoid serving any significant amount of time behind bars.

He was also arrested in April.
Officers responded to a call of a fight at Spondivits, a restaurant just outside Atlanta where a manager at the establishment had suffered a bloody lip after Williams allegedly threw salt shaker at his face.
The manager and other witnesses at the restaurant said that Williams and members of his family had argued with staff when told the table they were at was for another party, and Williams then became so enraged he threw the shaker.
