Press Coverage Of Katt Williams' Burglary Arrest Somewhat Lacking

World-famous comedian Katt Williams has been arrested in Georgia on trespassing and burglary charges. We have a hard time believing the millionaire performer stole the $3,500 worth of jewelry and coins reported missing. Clearly there's more to the story - but reports by CNN, the Associated Press and Associated Content simply quote the Coweta County Sheriff's department and the arrest report. TMZ is the only news outlet we can find that bothered to speak to someone in Willams' camp:

Katt Williams was not burglarizing anyone and his arrest for same is totally bogus -- according to Katt's lawyer

William Briggs told TMZ Katt was in Georgia shooting a movie, staying at the property of a friend and the movie's producer, Barry Hankerson.

Briggs says the reason his client was busted is because he was involved in a dispute with one of Barry's employees who lives in the guesthouse. The vengeful employee called the cops and reported a faux burglary, Briggs says. Briggs adds Katt had "full permission" to be on the property and has been staying there for the last 3 weeks.
