Comedian Katt Williams is now banned from two counties in Georgia.
As part of a plea deal, the comedian is banned from Dawson and Hall counties and has been ordered to pay $7,500 in restitution due to his multiple run-ins with police. 
According to The Grio, Williams pleaded no contest to charges stemming from an alleged assault against his bodyguard Corey Dixon.

He will be required to complete 100 hours of community service and placed on probation for five years. The deal sees charges for imprisonment and terroristic threats reduced to charges of simple assault and charges for possession of a firearm and aggravated assault dismissed.

Williams’ home is in Hall County, so what will happen with that is anyone’s guess. Hopefully, he can end 2016 without incident and go into the New Year sans trouble.
