Further details have emerged regarding the most recent arrest of erratic comedian Katt Williams. According to Hall County Sheriff PIO Nicole Bailes “The Hall County Sheriff’s Department made a forced entry to execute an arrest warrant at the home of Katt Williams on Tuesday. During the execution of the warrant, a large amount of marijuana and several firearms were discovered. The arrest warrant was issued because an incident that is alleged to have occurred on Feb. 28, 2016. A victim identified as Corey Dickson, 28, was working as a bodyguard for Katt Williams. Dickson stated that he was held against his will for several hours and beaten with a baseball bat by Williams and a female companion identified as Tatiana Smith.”
Williams was charged with aggravated assault, false imprisonment and terror threats. In addition, he is facing pending drug possession and firearm charges. Two women identified as Lena Christine Smith, 40; and Tatiana Shaquaese Smith, 24, were also in the residence and were arrested by police. Lena Smith was charged with felony possession of marijuana. The other woman faces much more serious charges that include aggravated assault, possession of Xanax and possession of marijuana.
Williams is scheduled to appear before a Hall County magistrate at 2 p.m. Wednesday to determine whether bail will be granted. According to law enforcement, his felon status will be evaluated. In addition, the judge is sure to take into account Williams’ most recent public behavior that included being arrested last week for punching a store clerk, brandishing a gun at a group of women, and being beaten at a Beanie Segel concert in Philadelphia.
Williams, through his actions, has many believing he is a threat to himself and others. His video response to being beaten at a club was bizarre. These new charges and details of his arrest have placed Katt William in a dark realm of tragic criminal comedy.
