Comedian Katt Williams has been sent for tests at a mental hospital by his worried family - after reportedly trying to check into a motel wearing just a bathrobe.

The star was forced to seek help by concerned family members after the incident at the Mount Vernon Inn in Sumter, South Carolina on Friday (14Nov08)- which came just a week after he was arrested in New York on weapons charges.

According to AllHipHop.com police officers responded to a call that Williams was behaving suspiciously at the hotel when he arrived clad in a bathrobe and with a towel wrapped around his head.

After determining no crime had taken place, cops contacted the star's family - who are said to have arrived with deputies under orders to escort Williams to the nearest mental health facility. (AV/WNWCAH/ZN)
