Katt 'puts his children at risk'
Drug and gun arrest for Williams
American comedian Katt Williams has been arrested for allegedly endangering four of his children.
The troubled stand-up was investigated for supposedly keeping numerous guns and illegal drugs in his Los Angeles home.
But the defiant comic told gossip website TMZ, which broke the story: ‘How do you keep kids safe without guns?’
He claimed his weapons were in a secure box and said there were no drugs at his house except on weed, but added: ‘Weed is not a drug.’
He was held on $100,000 bail and his children placed in protective custody.
Williams has eight children – one natural son and seven adopted.
This is the latest in a string of legal woes for the 43-year-old - which now also involve the American tax authorities. For Williams has been hit by another lawsuit by the IRS, who say he owes them $4million in unpaid taxes.
He is also facing cases of assault.
