Katt Williams Arrested After Fight With Woman in Studio City Hotel

Williams has been arrested multiple times throughout the country on assault and burglary charges

Stand-up comedian Katt Williams was in police custody Sunday after an alleged physical altercation with a woman at a Studio City hotel in Los Angeles, officers said.

Police were informed of the incident at the Sportsmen's Lodge involving the 44-year-old comedian at about 10:30 a.m., said Los Angeles Police Officer Liliana Preciado.

An unidentified woman placed Williams under citizen's arrest and officers transported him to jail where he is being booked, Preciado said.

The details of the alleged altercation were under investigation. His lawyer didn't immediately return a request for comment from The Associated Press.

Williams has been arrested multiple times throughout the country on assault and burglary charges.

In 2006, he was arrested after an allegedly stolen gun was found in his briefcase at Los Angeles International Airport. He pleaded no contest to a misdemeanor count of carrying a concealed firearm.

Almost two years ago, Williams and rap producer Marion "Suge" Knight were arrest for allegedly stealing a camera from a photographer in Beverly Hills. They are awaiting separate trials in that case.
