Katt Williams arrested in California, cancels Mobile performance

SACRAMENTO (AP) - UPDATE 12/9, 3 p.m.: Officials said the performance has been canceled and refunds are available at the original point of sale. They said no further information is available.

2:00 p.m.: Comedian Katt Williams has been arrested in northern California on a felony warrant related to a police chase.

The Sacramento Bee reports (http://bit.ly/UNq5QW ) that Williams was arrested Friday night in Dunnigan, about 25 miles north of Sacramento, by Yolo County deputies.

Officials with the Mobile Civic Center said Williams' show, scheduled for Sunday, has not been canceled. They said they expect "Mr. Williams to be at our venue for tonight’s performance at 7 p.m. in the Arena."

The Sacramento Bee says he was released from the county jail Saturday after posting bail.

The sheriff's department confirmed Williams' arrest late Saturday, but staffers on duty didn't have details. A spokesman for the comedian didn't immediately return a call and email.

The California Highway Patrol says Williams fled officers on a three-wheeled motorcycle on Nov. 25 after being spotted driving on a downtown Sacramento sidewalk.

The CHP said Williams was asked to stop and refused, leading to the pursuit.

The CHP says Williams nearly hit five people during the chase, which police ended for safety reasons.
