Katt Williams Jail Time Avoided: Sentence Went From Felony To Misdemeanor For Car Chase In Sacramento [VIDEO]

Katt Williams' jail time was avoided on Thursday at a Sacramento court. Katt Williams was facing jail time for allegedly evading police while riding a three-wheeled motorbike on a sidewalk that led to a chase with police in November.

He pleaded down from a felony to a misdemeanor for the incident and was sentenced to 428 hours of community service within nine months, according to the plea deal that TMZ reported.

"Mr. Williams looks forward to working with the community and moving on with his life," Katt's attorney Richard Schonfeld told TMZ after the possible Katt Williams jail time sentencing on Thursday.

Katt Williams' jail time became possible when on January 8, the comedian was arrested at his LA home after a warrant was issued for failing to appear in Sacramento County Court on charges of driving in a reckless manner from the November 25th incident, in which he allegedly drove a three-wheeled motorbike on a sidewalk and failed to stop for police.

Williams has appeared in movies, including "Scary Movie 5," "How High" and "The Perfect Holiday." He also gained popularity as a member of the "Wild N Out" crew on MTV. He has enjoyed successful comedy acts that touring him across the U.S.

This narrowly avoided Katt Williams jail time wasn't the first time he's been in trouble with the law. His legal troubles have included a few assault charges and a few more arrests.

Katt Williams, whose real name is Micah Sierra Williams, allegedly stole jewelry and other personal items from a guesthouse he was staying at in Atlanta in 2009.

"This was a misunderstanding between me and two stupid detectives," said Williams as he emerged from the Coweta jail Monday night. He was mobbed by about 50 excited fans before departing in a van filled with friends and associates.

In court Judge Wyatt agreed this was no "typical" burglary. Williams said he was staying at producer Barry Hankerson's Coweta estate.

"I was in the middle of a birthday party" when arrested, Williams told the judge. "I'm one of the most honorable people in my profession," said the father of eight children, seven of whom were adopted.
