Katt Williams just can’t seem to keep himself out of trouble or out of jail in recent months. The troubled comedian was arrested again on Wednesday, according to TMZ. This time, cops nabbed Katt for that fight caught on camera last week. You know, the one where he ended up in a headlock after picking a fight with an underage teenager.

According to the report, Gainesville police showed up at Katt Williams’ house and arrested him after a warrant was issued on Monday. Williams was arrested around 2:30 p.m. This time around, Williams is being held without bail until he makes an appearance in court on Thursday.

Last week, video of the encounter surfaced and Katt was seen punching 17-year old Luke Wash. He didn’t win the fight though and many laughed at Williams, who ended up in a choke hold at the hands of the teen. Both have been charged with disorderly conduct for their part in the fight. Wash turned himself in on Monday; Katt waited until Wednesday when police showed up at his house with the arrest warrant.

Wash reportedly did not file charges against Katt and his arrest came as a bit of a surprise. It turns out that Hall County law enforcement decided to pursue charges against Katt and Wash after viewing the viral video of the incident and hearing witness accounts. The altercation started after Katt decided to involve himself in a pickup soccer game.

According to Katt, the teen was trash talking him during the game, trying to start a fight with the comedian. Well, it was a fight he got when Katt hit the teen. Ironically, Wash is a high school wrestler and Katt looked pretty silly while pinned to the ground in a headlock until other men present were able to pry the two apart.

This is just the latest in a string of arrests for Katt Williams and many of his fans are worried about the comedian. After his last arrest, Williams’ girlfriend (or now ex-girlfriend) Hazel-E hopped on the first flight out of Georgia as soon as she got her own name cleared. She told reporters that she’d had it with Katt’s crazy behavior.

Now Williams’ family is speaking out and they believe the comedian needs help. While Katt’s family is contemplating having the comedian hospitalized for his own good, he has told TMZ that his family is just after his money.

Williams didn’t keep quiet about his most recent altercation that went viral. During a stand-up event at Barclay’s Center, the comedian talked about the viral video of himself getting choked out by a teen before a group of men separated them. “That’s what happens when you say slick s**t to grown a** men,” Williams told the crowd last Friday.

Katt is currently facing charges from three other arrests in recent months. One of those included an altercation at a pool store where he came behind the counter and punched the clerk multiple times. Williams was also arrested along with another woman for threatening to kill his bodyguard after the man allegedly refused to break the law for him.
