An attorney for pimp/rapper/comedian Katt Williams says his famous client is innocent of burglary and criminal trespassing charges stemming from accusations that he broke into a friend’s home early Monday.
Officals in Newnan, Georgia say Williams — armed with a crowbar — entered a home in the suburb of Atlanta and made off with $3,555 in jewelry and collectable coins.

According to Katt’s lawyer William Briggs, Katt in Georgia shooting a movie and staying at the property of the movie’s producer, Barry Hankerson. Briggs adds Katt — who has had a mirage of run-ins with the law in recent months — had “full permission” to be on the property and has been staying there for the last three weeks.

Briggs tells 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. The 38-year-old remains at the Coweta County jail after a judge set bond at more than $41,000 during a court hearing Monday.
