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.

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

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