GAINESVILLE, Ga. (AP) — A lawyer for Katt Williams says the comedian has been granted bond.

Williams was jailed in Georgia following his arrest Wednesday. Police say the 44-year-old Williams and 17-year-old Luke Wash are charged with disorderly conduct after fighting at a Gainesville apartment complex. Wash is charged as an adult.

Attorney Drew Findling says Williams was granted $500 bond and was expected to be released Thursday.

Yvette Shearer, who is handling publicity for Williams' "Conspiracy Theory 2016" tour, said his Friday show in New Orleans is being rescheduled to May 6. His Saturday show in Bossier City, Louisiana, is being moved to April 30. She said all tickets will be honored on the new dates.
