This has not been Katt Williams' year. Heck, this hasn't even been his day!

The possibly retired comedian was arrested this morning at his Los Angeles-area home on suspicion of felony child endangerment and remains in custody, police confirm to E! News.

Details of alleged wrongdoing involving minors are pretty much always kept confidential; his booking sheet notes that he is being held at the LAPD's Valley Jail in Van Nuys in lieu of $100,000 bail.

Williams' attorney, Thomas McAllister, had no comment at this time.

The bust went down at 8:30 a.m., right around when news outlets were learning that the IRS filed a $4 million tax lien against the Friday After Next star on Dec. 18.

Williams has had the following brushes with the law during the past few months: parking infractiondriving issuebar fight, hotel disturbance and gun violation.

At least this year is almost over. May he get the fresh start he seems to need.
