Katt Williams arrested for throwing salt shaker at restaurant manager

ATLANTA — Comedian Katt Williams was arrested for allegedly hitting a restaurant manager with a salt shaker.

East Point police told Channel 2 Action News that officers responded around 10:30 p.m. Wednesday to a disturbance call at the Spondivits restaurant on Virginia Avenue.

They said the restaurant manager's lips were bleeding. Police said the manager told them that Williams threw a salt shaker and hit him in the lip after Williams' group was denied preferential seating.

Police arrested Williams a short time later at a nearby Waffle House.

He was charged with battery and bonded out of the East Point jail early Thursday morning.
