Comedian Katt Williams was arrested Sunday after an incident in Studio City, Los Angeles Police officials said.

Comedian Katt Williams is seen in a booking photo released by the Hall County Sheriff’s Office in June.

He was arrested on suspicion of battery after some kind of altercation with a female employee at the Sportsmen’s Lodge, 12825 Ventura Blvd., Sgt. Frank  Preciado said.

The Los Angeles Times reported that Williams, 44, was held in jail on $20,000 bail and was later released. He is scheduled to appear in court on Aug. 18.

The unidentified woman suffered a minor injury in the incident, the Times reported.

Williams and Suge Knight were arrested on Sept. 5, 2014 after allegedly stealing a camera from an “independent celebrity photographer.”

In June the comedian was arrested after allegedly getting into a fist fight with a 17-year-old in Georgia.
