Emmy-winning comedian Katt Williams was arrested for allegedly assaulting a limousine driver at a Portland, Oregon airport in a confrontation over the transportation of the celebrity’s dog, authorities said on Sunday.
Airport police said Williams, 47, got into an argument late on Friday with the driver after Williams asked for a ride with his dog from a private aviation terminal to a performance centre in the city.
“The victim sustained minor injuries to the face including swelling and cuts,” a police report said.
Williams left the scene in another vehicle. He was found on Saturday and booked on a fourth-degree assault charge, the report said.
Williams has not spoken to the media about the incident, and a publicist for him was not immediately available for comment.
