Sources say Katt was charged with both trespassing and burglary and accused of stealing about $3,500 worth of jewelry. He was said to have had a crowbar in his hand when police arrived on the scene."Comedian Katt Williams was a guest -- not a burglar -- at the Georgia home he is now accused of breaking into with a crowbar, his lawyer told CNN.
The house, on a horse farm in rural west Georgia, is owned by record producer Barry Hankerson, according to the police report.
Williams has been living in the Coweta County, Georgia, home for nearly a month while filming a movie produced by Hankerson, attorney William Briggs said.
Williams, 38, was arrested early Monday after an employee of Hankerson's -- Daniel Paul Broach -- called police and reported Williams had broken into the home with a crowbar, the police report said.
A Coweta County magistrate set bail at $40,000 in a hearing Monday afternoon, which lawyers were working to post, Briggs said.
The police report said about $3,500 in jewelry and collectable coins were stolen, which his lawyer said "we absolutely deny."
"Mr. Williams wears more than that in jewelry on his person," Briggs said."
Hmmmm. sounds fishy to me...they tryin to do Katt in.
