OK, Katt Williams. Coin-collecting is a hobby, not coin-stealing.

The fledgling numismatist has been charged with burglary and criminal trespassing following his arrest Sunday night in Atlanta for allegedly breaking into a house with a crowbar and stealing roughly $3,555 in cash and rare coins.

"Huh?!" is right.

Bail was set at $41,000 and Williams, whose latest stand-up feature, Katt Williams: Pimpadelic, was a top-10 seller on DVD last month, remained in custody on Monday afternoon, according to an officer at Coweta County Jail.

Per the local sheriff's office, Daniel Broach of of Newnan, Ga., called police at around 9 p.m. on Sunday to report that Williams had broken into his home and stole money and collectible coins.

This is just icing on the erratic-behavior cake for Williams, who was sentenced to three years' probation in late 2006 for having a gun in his briefcase at Los Angeles International Airport.

New York police allegedly found three guns in his car a year ago, not long before Williams was hospitalized for a psychiatric evaluation, but the case hit a roadblock and the charges were ultimately dropped.
