Comedian Katt Williams arrested, accused of burglary
Atlanta, Georgia (CNN) -- Comedian Katt Williams was arrested on burglary and criminal trespass charges in a west Georgia community early Monday, according to police.
A police report said Williams, 38, used a crowbar to force his way into a home in a rural area about six miles west of Newnan, Georgia, late Sunday.
About $3,500 worth of jewelry and collectable coins were stolen, according to the report by the Coweta County, Georgia, Sheriff's Department.
Williams, 38, smiled broadly while posing for a mug shot photo at the Coweta County jail.
His first court appearance is set for 4 p.m. ET Monday, when a magistrate will decide if Williams is eligible for bond, said Deborah Matthews, a Coweta County magistrate court spokeswoman.
Williams' manager declined to comment.
Williams began his career as a stand-up comic, gaining attention in 1999 for comedy club appearances. Television appearances on the BET Network led to more success.
His 2006 HBO special "Katt Williams: Pimp Chronicles Pt.1" raised his profile.
He has acted in several movies, including Eddie Murphy's "Norbit."
His often raunchy style has drawn comparisons to comedy legend Richard Pryor.
His DVD set -- "It's Pimpin' Pimpin'," -- is scheduled for release this Wednesday, according to his Web site. WHEN I READ THIS STORY FIRST THING CAME TO MY HEAD IS I THOUGHT HE WAS RICH...IS THIS ONE OF HIS JOKES..BUT I GUESS NOT..KEEP YOU HEAD UP..I KNOW EVERYONE IN JAIL IS LAUGHING AT HIS JOKES.
