Comedian Katt Williams arrested 'ordering assault on bodyguard and threatening to kill him'

Actor Katt Williams has been arrested and booked into a Georgia jail. The arrest on Tuesday stems from a February 28 incident, in which the comedian allegedly threatened to kill Corey Dixon, his reported bodyguard.

Williams, 42, was booked into the Hall County Jail for aggravated assault, false imprisonment, and terroristic threats.

Dixon was allegedly assaulted at Williams' home after saying no to carrying out criminal activity, WSB-TV reported. 

Hall County Sheriff's Office Deputy Nicole Bailes told the TV station: 'It's our understanding that Mr. Williams was encouraging our victim, Mr. Dixon, to engage in some criminal activity in the Atlanta area.' 

Bailes said: '[Williams] ordered the assault and stood there while the assault was happening. It is my understanding that there were firearms present. Mr. Williams had a firearm on his person.'

24-year-old Tatiana Smith allegedly choked Dixon and beat him with a baseball bat, the TV station reported.

As the incident occurred, Williams allegedly threatened to kill his bodyguard, according to WSB-TV.

Marijuana and guns were discovered Tuesday at the funnyman's Gainesville home by police executing a search warrant, WTVM reported.

Williams was transported to the county jail along with Lena Smith and Tatiana Smith, the news outlet said. 

Authorities charged Lena Smith with possession of marijuana, while they charged Tatiana Smith with possession of Alprazolam, possession of marijuana, and aggravated assault, WTVM said.

Williams and the two women are reportedly in the jail without bond.

Williams has also been accused of holding five women at gunpoint, punching one of them, and stealing the women's cellphones on February 28.
