Katt Williams facing charges for fight with Georgia teen

GAINESVILLE, Ga.

Entertainer Katt Williams and a teenager have each been charged with disorderly conduct after fighting each other at an apartment complex, police in metro Atlanta said Monday.

Williams, 44, and Luke Wash, 17, were both charged in connection with the fight last week, Gainesville Police Sgt. Kevin Holbrook said Monday. He added that Wash is also charged as an adult in the case.

A police report wasn’t filed, but video footage and witness statements led authorities to press charges, according to Holbrook.

“It’s my understanding that Wash is in custody at the jail, and we have made contact with Williams’ attorney, and it is our hopes and our understanding that he will be turning himself in,” Holbrook said.
