NEWNAN, Ga. —

Newnan police confirmed to Channel 2 Action News that famed comedian Katt Williams was questioned following a disturbance call at an area Walmart Friday.

Williams had an entourage of several people, who are also being questioned by authorities.

Police said two people, Shirley Williams and Tony Williams, were detained and charged with disorderly conduct, and a third person, Lilly James, was charged with possession of marijuana. Police said Shirley and Tony Williams are the mother and brother of Katt Williams' girlfriend, Yolanda. Police said the duo confronted Katt Williams and accused him of endangering the welfare of Yolanda. Yolanda denied it, police said.

Katt Williams was not arrested and was later released.

“This is a witch hunt. I’m getting to the point where I feel persecuted. This don’t make no sense. They keep acting like I’m a troublemaker. I been here for two months and ain’t been to a club yet," said Williams in an exclusive interview with Channel 2 Action News reporter Darren Lyn following the incident.

The comedian, whose real name is Micah Williams, was arrested in November and jailed in Coweta County on charges of burglary and criminal trespassing.

Williams is best known for his appearances on BET and HBO, including his HBO special "Katt Williams: Pimp Chronicles Pt. 1," which was shot in Atlanta.
