According to the Associated Press, Katt Williams allegedly carried a crowbar when he entered an Atlanta-area home and made off with $3,555 in jewelry and collectable coins, according to police who spoke to the Associated Press about the comedian’s arrest on Sunday.
However, a lawyer Williams says his client is completely innocent of burglary and criminal trespassing charges stemming from accusations that he broke into someone’s home.
The 38-year-old remained at the Coweta County jail Monday after a judge set bond at more than $41,000 during a court hearing.
According to Katt’s lawyer William Briggs, Williams was in Georgia shooting a movie and staying at the property of the movie’s producer, Barry Hankerson. Briggs told TMZ that Williams was involved in a dispute with one of Hankerson’s employees who lives in the guesthouse, and the employee called the cops and reported a faux burglary.
Briggs adds Katt had “full permission” to be on the property and has been staying there for the last three weeks.
In a recording of a 911 call obtained by TMZ, the caller says Williams wouldn’t let him leave and “threatened to beat me up.” The caller also said he wasn’t sure if Williams had a weapon.
