Actor Katt Williams has been arrested and booked into a Georgia jail.

The arrest on Tuesday stems from a February 28 incident, in which the comedian allegedly threatened to kill Corey Dixon, his reported bodyguard.

Williams, 42, was booked into the Hall County Jail for aggravated assault, false imprisonment, and terroristic threats.

Dixon was allegedly assaulted at Williams' home after saying no to carrying out criminal activity, WSB-TV reported.

Hall County Sheriff's Office Deputy Nicole Bailes told the TV station: 'It's our understanding that Mr. Williams was encouraging our victim, Mr. Dixon, to engage in some criminal activity in the Atlanta area.'

Bailes said: '[Williams] ordered the assault and stood there while the assault was happening. It is my understanding that there were firearms present. Mr. Williams had a firearm on his person.'

24-year-old Tatiana Smith allegedly choked Dixon and beat him with a baseball bat, the TV station reported.

As the incident occurred, Williams allegedly threatened to kill his bodyguard, according to WSB-TV.

Marijuana and guns were discovered Tuesday at the funnyman's Gainesville home by police executing a search warrant, WTVM reported.

Williams was transported to the county jail along with Lena Smith and Tatiana Smith, the news outlet said.

Authorities charged Lena Smith with possession of marijuana, while they charged Tatiana Smith with possession of Alprazolam, possession of marijuana, and aggravated assault, WTVM said.

Williams and the two women are reportedly in the jail without bond.

Williams has also been accused of holding five women at gunpoint, punching one of them, and stealing the women's cellphones on February 28.

He told police the women were harassing him and taking his picture and filming him without permission.

On February 29, Williams allegedly punched a Leslie's Pool Supplies worker named Paul Love in suburban Atlanta

The comedian (pictured left) claimed salesman Paul Love (right) called him the 'N-word' and treated him like a criminal. Love, 54, insisted that the attack was unprovoked

'Surreal' situation: Love said Williams knocked over a display case and threw a pair of goggles at him

On February 29, Williams allegedly punched a Leslie's Pool Supplies worker named Paul Love.

Williams told TMZ that Love 'used the N-word on the last day of Black History Month.'

He also told the news outlet: 'Katt Williams did what Katt Williams had to do as a black man that is self-employed.'

However, Love, 54, told WSB-TV he had no idea why Williams attacked him, knocked over a display and punched him in the face, two months after he had brain surgery.

In that case, Williams was booked into the county jail on a battery charge then later released on bail, DailyMail.com reported.

Williams is suspected of misdemeanor battery regarding an incident in Los Angeles on March 1, according to TMZ. Williams told the website he acted in self-defense after someone struck him.

On March 6, Williams was in Philadelphia at a Beanie Sigel concert when he reportedly started a fight that was captured on video.

In 2015, the comedian appeared in court alongside Marion 'Suge' Knight where they pleaded not guilty to robbery charges.

The pair had been accused of taking a camera from a celebrity photographer during a confrontation in Beverly Hills in September 2014. A trial date has not been set.
