Comedian-rapper Katt Williams remained jailed Monday in suburban Atlanta after police said they arrested the entertainer for breaking into a home and stealing thousands of dollars’ worth of jewelry and coins.
Williams, 38, is charged with burglary and criminal trespassing, according to Coweta County Sheriff’s Office Maj. James Yarbrough.
A Coweta County magistrate set bond at more than $41,000 Monday.
Yarbrough said the incident happened Sunday night at a home in Newnan, about 40 miles outside Atlanta. Yarbrough said the victim – identified in a police report as Daniel Broach – called police around 9 p.m. to report the comedian broke into his home and stole items.
Williams had a crowbar when he entered and is accused of taking $3,555 in jewelry and collectable coins.
Williams lives in Woodland Hills, Calif. Yarbrough said police believe the entertainer was in Georgia working on a film.
Williams is known for his roles in the movies “Friday After Next” and “Norbit.” His comedy DVD, “Katt Williams: Pimpadelic,” was No. 8 in the nation for sales during the week of Oct. 30, according to Nielsen/VideoScan.
He was briefly jailed in November 2008 after New York police said officers discovered three guns in Williams’ car. Manhattan prosecutors dropped weapons charges after having trouble proving their case.
