KATT WILLIAMS MENTAL HEALTH IN QUESTION "PLEASE KEEP HIM IN YOUR PRAYER"




Speaking of Comedians, Katt Williams, 37, was reportedly taken to a hospital for a mental health evaluation after visiting family members in Sumter, South Carolina on, Friday (Nov. 14), according to The Sumter Item. Before that, the actor and comedian had run-ins with both city and county law enforcement which stirred from a call to police early that morning.

Sumter Police say officers responded to a call in reference to suspicious behavior by Williams at a local hotel. Williams reportedly showed up to the hotel in a bathrobe with a towel wrapper around his head inquiring about a room. Williams later left after asking for directions which police made no arrest at that time due to no crime being broken.


Williams later appeared on the doorsteps of attorney Garryl Deas’s office around 9:00 AM who Williams sought to hire because he said police were quote “attempting to violate his rights.” Williams went on talking to the attorney until around 9:30 about his entertainment career and rumors that he had perished in a plane crash. At that time, the attorney had to leave for a court appearance, which Williams asked at that point, could he wait in the office til the attorney returned, which Deas said he could.

Deas later returned around 10:30 a.m. to find Williams still waiting, but now Williams’ behavior had changed. “His demeanor was a little troubled,” Deas said stating the actor seemed “disoriented.” This was the time when family or close friends showed up seeking to have the comedian committed, Deas said.

Continuining his eratic behavior, Deas says Williams began “speaking gibberish,” saying “that he doesn’t trust anyone anymore” and everyone has turned against him.

Williams was later transported to the hospital for a psychiatric evaluation.

I'm on a Katt Williams Support Campaign. All we need is an influx of letters of support to his management staff. I've contacted local and all facets of entertainment to chip in. Jay Leno, Conan, The View ladies, KTLA, Big Boy, MoJo, Ben's Chili Bowl in D.C. (Katt visit's them when he was there - check the latest DVD), and countless radio personnel.

HELP!!

Thank you!!
