Katt Williams, actor and actor, convicted of assault in Oregon

SALEM, Oregon. – Comedian Katt Williams was arrested for assaulting a hired driver during a dispute over taking him with his dog from the airport of Portland, Oregon to a show in town. Williams, 47, who was in jail on Sunday, came to Portland to participate in Nick Cannon's "Wild & N Out" television series on Friday night.

According to the Port of Portland Police, the driver of the city car was swollen and had cuts in his face and had been treated in a hospital. The actor, whose real name is Micah Williams, left in another vehicle and was arrested on Saturday.

Williams has been charged with fourth degree assault and a hearing is scheduled for Monday. He was also arrested on an out-of-court order by Georgia. He is currently detained in Multnomah County Jail and his bond has been set at $ 2,500, reports KOIN-TV, a member of CBS.

A Williams publicist, whose comedy specials were published on HBO and Netflix, did not immediately respond to messages requesting comment. A prison official and a spokesman for the prosecutor's office said that they did not know if the comedian had a lawyer who could speak on his behalf.

The incident occurred at Atlantic Aviation, which operates private planes at Portland International Airport, police said. An employee who answered the phone on Sunday said her boss told the workers not to discuss the case.

Last month, Williams won the Emmy Award for "Best Guest Actor in a Comedy Series" for his appearance in FX "Atlanta".

His arrest comes more than a year after Williams was sentenced to three years probation in Los Angeles after arguing unambiguously to steal the camera from a celebrity photographer. Prosecutors said in April 2017 that he was also scheduled to take anger management classes.

In 2016, Williams was sentenced to five years of probation after pleading without competition in Georgia against blows and wounds Linked to allegations, he threatened a bodyguard while an acquaintance beat him with a baseball bat.
