The 44-year-old comedian was arrested July 24 outside the Sportsmen’s Lodge banquet hall and hotel after a female employee said he hurt her. Williams’ attorney Shawn Holley declined comment, saying she had not yet received potential evidence in the case.

The comedian has been arrested several times this year, including in April, when police said he threw a salt shaker at a suburban Atlanta restaurant manager.

The charges were first reported by celebrity website TMZ.
