Katt Williams Gets No Jail Time For Leading Police On A Chase

. . , , , , , , ,

 

Remember that time Katt Williams led Sacramento police on a chase while he was driving a 3-wheel motorcycle? For civilians that would probably mean jail time, but for the troubled comedian it means a lot of community service. 

TMZ reports:

Katt was in court today, where he pled down to misdemeanor evading police … stemming from the wild three-wheeled chase he led cops on last November. Katt had originally been charged with felony evading police … but prosecutors agreed to reduce the charge. As part of the deal, Katt was sentenced to 428 hours of community service to be completed in 9 months — but no jail. Katt’s attorney Richard Schonfeld tells us, “Mr. Williams looks forward to working with the community and moving on with his life.”

Recently, while promoting Scary Movie 5, Williams said he was wants his crown back after Mike Epps said Kevin Hart has become a star in his absence. That and the bizarre behavior fans witnessedf from Williams late last year that included him pimp slapping a Target employee and generally acting up while performing on stage.

Mike Epps Says Kevin Hart Wouldn’t Be Successful If Katt Williams Hadn’t “Flipped Out” [Twitter Pics]

. . , , , , , , ,

There appears to be no easier way to get people to go against one another, than on Twitter. Mike Epps used the website to blast Kevin Hart over the weekend, opening the door for a truckload of insults thrown back in his direction. Over the last year, Hart has seen his career take off. Aside from co-starring in the multi-million box office hit, Think Like A Man, the father of two has a hit show on BET, made an appearance on Modern Family, and plans to release a comedy film this summer. Even with all those accolades, Epps doesn’t believe the Philly native would be successful had Katt Williams not gone a-wall. “MAN IF KATT WILLIAMS WOULDN’T HAVE FLIPPED OUT IT WOULD NOT BE NO KEVIN HART,” he wrote. After that, he called Hart “gay,” and likened his face to a “drunk pug.” Hart finally caught wind of the Twitter jabs and went in for the kill. “I just checked my twitter timeline & noticed that @TheRealMikeEpps Has been talking sh-t,” he replied. “Operation destroy u is now in session.” Using the word “destroy” may have been a little ambitious on Hart’s part but he did land a few punches like this quip: Yo @TheRealMikeEpps is one bad movie away from doing SCHOOL PLAYS!!!” Ouch. Nothing like two grown men play fighting each other on Twitter over absolutely nothing.
