Comedian Katt Williams is currently under medical care at an undisclosed hospital in Sumter, South Carolina after attempting to check into a motel in a bathrobe.
Williams showed up at the Mt. Vernon Inn around 8:30 a.m. on Friday.
"And when I asked for his ID, he stared to look in his pockets and couldn't find his ID," Marion Donning, the motel clerk, told The Item, a newspaper in South Carolina.
Donning said Williams went out to a SUV and brought in a man. He reportedly became disruptive when Donning told him that the unidentified male would be responsible for him.
“The gentleman in the bathrobe said, 'Well I make $20 million year, and you're trying to take responsibility for me?'"
On a surveillance tape, Williams is seen squatting by the door. Williams and his company left the motel without ever checking in, and according to the WIS News 10, Williams was picked up by deputies while at a law office two blocks away. Williams’s family, The Item reports, sent police over so Williams can be taken to undergo a mental evaluation.
Williams was scheduled to perform at the Caesar’s Palace in Las Vegas on Thursday, but according to his publicist, Yvette Shearer the show has been cancelled. In a statement, Shearer said that the comedian is “incredibly fatigued” and is currently seeking medial attention.
Williams was most recently arrested in New York for weapons possession.
