Katt was released from custody late last night, and on his way out of jail, he explained the situation to TMZ (above). You can check out the original story below.

Katt Williams was just arrested in L.A., TMZ has learned — after blowing off a court date in Sacramento.

As we previously reported, a Sacramento judge issued a bench warrant for Katt’s arrest yesterday when the comedian failed to show up for his arraignment, stemming from his wild 3-wheeled police chase back in November. He’s been charged with evading a police officer while driving recklessly, a felony.

Law enforcement sources tell TMZ the LAPD was aware Katt was a wanted man and when detectives spotted him outside his Los Angeles home, they placed him under arrest.
