Williams Facing Legal Action Over Construction Bill

The funnyman/rapper is said to have hired the Extreme Fence Co. to install an electric motorised gate and 106 feet (32.3 metres) of iron fencing at his home in Calabasas, California in October (09).

But Williams allegedly never paid the $8,900 (£5,563) bill, and now bosses at the firm have filed a lien against the comic, according to TMZ.com.

The news will come as a further blow to the troubled star - two warrants were issued for Williams' arrest in December (10) after he allegedly punched a man in the face in November (09).

The comic was also arrested just days before the alleged bust-up after he was accused of breaking into a friend's Georgia home.

He was released from the Coweta County jail after posting $40,000 (£25,000) bail.
