“I did not steal when I was homeless, If I did not steal when I was starving, then I certainly will not steal $3,500 worth of jewelry, when I’m wearing $250,000 worth of jewelry…..”

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.

Police pinched Katt trying to break into a home in Newnan, Georgia, a deputy at the Coweta County Jail confirmed Monday.The star of comedy vehicles like Friday After Next and The Pimp Chronicles is being held there and a magistrate is expected to set bond at an arraignment Monday afternoon.

The arrest comes after a string of legal spats for Katt, who was briefly jailed last November after New York City police pulled him over for driving without a license plate discovered three guns. Manhattan prosecutors dropped the weapons charges in July.

Has Katt Williams gone crazy? Or is he smoking something?

On Friday November 14th, the comedian was hospitalized after walking into a motel lobby (wearing only a bathrobe) to check into a room at Mount Vernon Inn located in Sumter County, South Carolina.

Katt Williams underwent a psychiatric evaluation in Sumter, South Carolina over the after displaying a string of erratic behavior over the past several weeks, including a November 4 no-show on Late Night with Conan O’Brien and an arrest in New York on weapons charges earlier this month.

“Following an arduous 300 show, 18-month touring schedule that left him incredibly fatigued, Katt felt compelled to be with his family in an effort to deal with his stress. While doing so, he is under a doctor’s care. As this is a private and personal matter, the media is asked to respect his family’s request for privacy.”

Katt Williams kept his fans waiting at Carnegie Hall for more than half an hour last night in NYC — because he was getting himself bailed out of jail on weapons possession.

According to the New York Daily News, Williams and ten members of his crew were taken in on weapons charges Thursday morning after police noticed three visible guns in his Cadillac Escalade, which was missing a license plate, in Midtown Manhattan.

Originally scheduled to perform that evening at Carnegie Hall, Katt spent 18 hours behind bars before being released on a $25,000 bond.

The comedian rushed to the stage nearly an hour later with an apology to fans.

“I’m not moving at my usual pace,” he reportedly told the packed crowd. “I just got out of jail 35 minutes ago.”

Katt Williams was ousted as the host of the 2008 BET Hip-Hop Awards, taped in Atlanta last weekend, after he got into a furious argument with one of the show’s producers.

“Katt has become difficult now that he’s a megastar,” one source told the New York Daily News Thursday.

“He was very demanding during rehearsals. He really berated one female member of the production company. He launched into a verbal assault on her in front of other people. I mean, he read her the riot act,” the spy adds.

“Then he left the set and said he wouldn’t return unless she apologized. She wouldn’t. BET and the production company backed her up. Katt wouldn’t come back. Nobody was willing to budge.”

“So the night before the show, they had no host….At 1 a.m., the night before the show, they called T-Pain. He agreed to do it…..”
