Comedian Katt Williams arrested over fight with teen

GAINESVILLE, Ga. --Comedian Katt Williams was arrested Tuesday for his alleged involvement in a fight with a teenager, CBS affiliate WGCL reported.

Williams was taken into custody at his Atlanta-area home by Hall County Sheriff's Deputies, the station said.

A spokesman for the sheriff's department said Williams was being held without bond on charges of disorderly conduct and violating his conditional bond.

In a video of the incident obtained by TMZ, Williams can be seen punching 17-year-old Luke Wash in the face. The teen fights back, pulling Williams to the ground and placing him in a chokehold.

Wash was also charged as an adult with disorderly conduct in the case.

Williams was scheduled to make his first court appearance Thursday.

Authorities said Williams also faces charges for threatening a bodyguard's life in early March and for fighting with a store employee in February.
