Katt Williams Wanted By Police ... Again

Published | Updated

Katt Williams is once again a wanted man -- after all, it's been more than a week.

Katt was due in a Georgia court on June 20th for his latest battery case, but he was a no-show. The court gave him 10 days to contact the court with an explanation, but it was radio silence. The judge did what judges do and issued a warrant for his arrest.

TMZ broke the story ... Katt was arrested for hurling a salt shaker at a restaurant manager, busting open the guy's lip.

The incident was one in a string of bizarre arrests this year ... from allegedly assaulting a pool store clerk, to brawling with a teenager.

Published | Updated

Dana White's at the receiving end of some scary death threats from a former fighter who allegedly claims he's gonna show up up to UFC 200 with a crew and guns to kill the UFC honcho.

Sources close to White tell TMZ Dan Quinn -- who never fought in the UFC, but had a lengthy fighting career -- is angry over some unresolved bad blood. Back in 2012 Quinn allegedly threatened to shoot Dana in the head and has been in and out of prison since on an unrelated weapons charge.

However, we're told Dana's laughing the whole thing off and his last concern is Quinn.

Published | Updated

Public Enemy's Professor Griff is shutting down rumors he and Dallas shooter Micah Johnson were pals ... saying a photo of the two shaking hands was only a one time thing.

Social media exploded with the image Friday after the pic was uncovered on Johnson's Facebook page. Griff tells TMZ he never knew Johnson personally and was shocked to see his own face pop up following the shooting.

Griff says he's been bombarded with vociemails and other messages from people threatening to kill him and his family since the pic surfaced.

Dallas Shootings LAPD Doubles Down on Security

Published | Updated

There is predictable fallout from the Dallas massacre in police departments all over the country. We've spoken with a number of cops and brass at LAPD and surrounding agencies ... and here are some top of mind concerns:

-- Cops are concerned about fake 911 calls ... that a copycat might use the emergency number to set up an ambush.

-- We're told cops are talking about carrying extra weapons to ensure they're prepared for the worst. It's a bigger issue now than ever before.

-- The brass is telling officers to always carry ballistic helmets, vests and other protective gear and have it instantly available.

-- There won't be 1-person patrol units for the foreseeable future.

-- Cops are being told not to advertise that they work in law enforcement while off duty.

That said, the brass is trying to reassure officers that not every call is an ambush and not to develop paranoia.

Lamar Odom Files Divorce Docs ... Umm, Exactly What She Said

Published | Updated

Lamar Odom just filed his response to Khloe Kardashian's divorce petition ... and it shows the exes are lockstep when it comes to this breakup.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ Sports, Lamar lists the exact same date of separation as Khloe did -- December 13, 2013. Ditto for court's ability to award spousal support to the other. As we reported, our sources say they have a prenup.
