Police: Katt Williams charged with battery

ATLANTA – Comedian and actor Katt Williams was arrested after he threw a salt shaker at a restaurant manager, police in an Atlanta suburb said Thursday.

Officers responded to a call of a fight at Spondivits restaurant just south of Atlanta a little after 10 p.m. Wednesday, East Point police Capt. Cliff Chandler said. The restaurant manager had a bloody cut on his lip, and he and other witnesses told officers it was Williams who injured him, Chandler said. Some members of Williams’ family had entered the restaurant and seated themselves, and an argument broke out when restaurant staff told them the seats were reserved for another party, Chandler said. When Williams arrived, the argument escalated and Williams threw a salt shaker at the restaurant manager, Chandler said. Williams had left the restaurant by the time officers arrived, but they found him at a nearby Waffle House restaurant.
