Two arrest warrants have been issued for Katt Williams for an alleged incident that occurred on November 12, 2009, at a Four Seasons Hotel in Fulton County, Ga. The warrant for battery and false imprisonment were issued, after Williams allegedly punched someone in the face.

According to the police report, Merion Powers, the alleged victim, claims that he went to the hotel to speak with Williams about a debt that was owed. When Powers sensed things heating up, he took out his cell phone and turned on the recorder.

According to the report, "Mr. Williams was on audio recording stating that he did physically strike Mr. Power's once in the nose" and that Powers' nose "did show signs of swelling." Katt Williams was not arrested for the incident, which took place that evening.

My take on the Katt Williams arrest warrant?

Katt Williams is in trouble, probably more than most of us think. This is the second major incident involving Williams within the last two months, as he was arrested for burglary during the same month. The brother needs to realize that he is a major celebrity and a powerful brand. That means that people are going to set you up in any way that they can. If you are not smart enough to handle your success with grace and intelligence, you'll soon find that your best days are behind you.
