Dayton-raised  comedian Katt Williams has been arrested on charges related to his alleged fistfight with a teenager.

This from our partners at the Atlanta Journal Constitution:

"Police say actor Katt Williams has turned himself in at a Georgia jail to face charges following a fight with a teenager.

Gainesville police Sgt. Kevin Holbrook says Williams was arrested Wednesday. Police in Gainesville, just northeast of Atlanta, said the 44-year-old Williams and 17-year-old Luke Wash are charged with disorderly conduct after fighting at an apartment complex.

Wash is charged as an adult. Holbrook said video of the fight and witness statements led to the charges."

EARLIER

Katt Williams has spoken out following last week's fiasco which ended up with him getting into a fight with a teenager.

Williams told an audience Friday night at Barclays Center in Brooklyn that he thought 17-year-old Luke Wash was 19, and punched him after a soccer game because of his trash talk, according to reports this weekend.

First report

Ummmmmm....now Katt Williams is getting into fights with children?!

The problem-prone 44-year-old comic sucker-punched the kid, a seventh grader according to several media reports, and the fight was on and popping.

See video below. It is not a pretty sight.

The fight begins around the 2:30 minute mark on the video. There is profanity.

Williams, whose real name is Micah Williams, was born in Cincinnati and raised in Dayton.

The pint-sized funnyman is best known for roles in "First Sunday," "Friday After Next," Eddie Murphy's "Norbit, " the HBO special "Katt Williams: Pimp Chronicles Pt. 1," and Comedy Central's celebrity roasts.

He's been in more than his fair share of trouble lately. 

Last month he was arrested on a battery charge after a shopkeeper told authorities he was punched during an argument.

Earlier this month, police said Williams threatened to kill his bodyguard.
