Comedian Katt Williams can’t seem to stay away from trouble. Are his actions a channel for great comedic material or is he losing it? Katt was arrested in California on a felony warrant related to a police chase. The Sacramento Bee reports that the arrest took place Friday night in Dunnigan, about 25 miles north of Sacramento.

According to the Huffington Post, Katt fled officers on a three-wheeled motorcycle on Nov. 25 after being spotted driving on a downtown Sacramento sidewalk. When he was asked to stop he refused and continued driving. The California Highway Patrol says that Katt nearly hit five people before police safely ended the chase.

Reportedly, Katt was not arrested at the scene. Moment’s later; he stepped into a Target where an argument between him and an employee took place. 

“Earlier in the week, Katt was a no show at an arraignment hearing in Seattle to face assault charges stemming from several run-ins with people and police last weekend,” says CBS News. 

Before his arrest Friday night, Williams reportedly struck a man over the head with a microphone, threw chairs at fans and threatened a bar manager with a pool cue.

Katt jokes a lot about the police and his frequent run-ins with the law. Is his behavior a cry for attention or help? I would hope neither. I would like to think that this is a phase that he will grow out of with great jokes to accompany him as a result.

Katt is set to star in “Scary Movie 5” and has a television special that was recorded on New Years Eve of last year at the Nokia Theatre. The special showcases Katt’s standup with better jokes and punch lines than his last special, Katt Williams: 9 Lives.

For his sake and the sake of his career, I can’t wait to see Katt Williams free from legal issues, tabloids and chaos. Katt Williams is too charismatic and funny to stay down for long.
