It hasn't been a great seven days for Katt Williams. Unless, of course, he planned on finding himself in trouble with law enforcement every other day for a week straight.

Last week, Williams allegedly led police on a low-speed chase down a Sacramento, CA sidewalk -- while reportedly removing his helmet to loudly insist he would not stop for police -- was later arrested for slapping a Target employee. Although he was not arrested after the chase, authorities confirmed that Williams would face felony evading arrest charges as well.

While most might have assumed the comedian would take it easy after that one-two combo, Williams apparently wasn't ready for the streak to end just yet.

The Seattle Times reports Katt was arrested for threatening the manager of a Seattle area sports bar on Sunday night. Authorities haven't released any details on what started the dispute between the comedian and the manager of World Sports Grille, but Williams allegedly refused to leave when asked to do so. He is also accused of threatening one of the restaurant's managers with a pool cue, and flicking his cigarette at a woman's face through the window of a car. Police say he threw a rock at the vehicle as well, and resisted arrest when they tried to take him into custody.

To make matters worse, that's not even the only trouble Katt found himself in while out in Seattle last weekend. In addition to his arrest at World Sports Grille, officials also say that Williams was involved in altercation with three fans that Katt says shouldn't have been backstage at his show. No injuries have been reported at this time, but it seems likely that more criminal charges and/or another lawsuit(s) will likely follow that altercation as well.

Katt Williams was bonded out of jail early Monday morning, by none other than Death Row Records' co-founder and former CEO Suge Knight. A representative for Knight also confirmed that he is managing the comedian's most recent tour.  Williams has not commented on the incident at this time.
