Katt Williams needs a hobby that doesn't involve law enforcement.

After having been arrested at least three times in the last three years, the otherwise-quite-successful comedian upped the ante and has been arrested two times in the last two months.

And that doesn't include being detained for questioning at a Wal-Mart in Newnan, Ga., today.

Per TMZ, Williams, who's facing burglary and trespassing charges for what he has called a mixup between him and "two stupid detectives," was arrested earlier this week over an issue with his bond.

He posted $41,150 bail last month after being accused of breaking into his friend's guest house and stealing cash and rare coins.

Today, however, Williams got off without seeing the inside of a jail.

Police responded to a 911 call from a Wal-Mart patron who claimed a member of Williams' entourage broke out a shotgun during some sort of altercation in the parking lot.

The Pimpadelic comic was handcuffed and questioned in the back of a squad car but released without being formally busted. Two people were charged with disorderly conduct, according to Newnan police.

While Williams has a long way to go to equal the streak DMX was on last year, he'd best nip his proclivity for trouble-making in the bud before he ends up behind bars for 90 days.
