     *Katt Williams now has his suspicions about law enforcement in Georgia following his latest run-in with authorities in a Walmart parking lot.

      Initial reports suggested Williams and members of his entourage were involved in an incident with another crew outside the discount store in Newnan, Georgia, during which a shotgun was pulled.

      Two people – a man and a woman – were arrested while Williams was only questioned at the scene, subsequent reports revealed. Investigators have since revealed the drama occurred after Williams and the arrested man got into an argument over a woman.

      Williams has now spoken out about the incident. He tells Action News 2: "This guy's saying he's her boyfriend and he's brought his family with him. Now one of them has a holster and a pocket full of bullets and a pistol. So I tell them, 'Let's step outside.'

      "Once they get me outside and there's six of them and one of me. Then all of a sudden, they calling the sheriff to tell the sheriff I got guns and I'm the problem."

      The comedian, who was arrested last month and accused of breaking into music mogul Barry Hankerson's Georgia home, is adamant he is being "persecuted" by police.

      "This is a witch hunt, it's getting to the point where I feel like I'm being persecuted because this don't make no sense," he said. "You can't act like I'm a troublemaker, I been here for two months, I ain't been to a club yet."

      Williams posted $40,000 bail in relation to the burglary allegations and has denied reports he stole jewelry and collectible coins from his friend's rural mansion. Williams said Hankerson invited him to stay in his guest house while he is in town to shoot a film.
