14 DAY TRIAL // His is the greatest comeback story of our times but, it would seem, with this kind of fame also comes trouble. Ted Williams, the homeless man with a golden voice, was detained by LA cops the other night.
TMZ reports that Williams and one of his daughters got into an argument in his hotel room and things turned so violent that police were eventually summoned on the scene.
“Ted Williams – the homeless man with the golden voice – was detained by LAPD last night after getting into a shouting match with one of his daughters,” TMZ reports.
It is not known yet whether the fight ever got physical but, judging from what has gotten out in the media, it surely was loud enough to get staff at the hotel concerned about what was going on.
“It went down at the Renaissance Hotel in Hollywood – where Ted and his daughter got into it so loudly a hotel employee called the cops,” TMZ says.
When police officers arrived, they decided to take both Williams and his daughter to the station for questioning. Neither was booked on any charge.
“Ted and his daughter were both taken to the Hollywood station, but neither Ted nor his daughter wanted to press charges so both were released,” TMZ writes.
Police sources are saying for the celebrity gossip website / paparazzi agency that the fight was over money, leading to speculation that the daughter visited Williams in his hotel room to ask for cash.
In recent days, since he became an Internet superstar, Williams has been getting plenty of offers to use his “golden voice” for voice-over work – and he's already cashing in on his overnight fame.
Just recently, his first television ad was released, as we also informed you the other day. It's a spot for Kraft's Macaroni & Cheese and is a genuine launching platform for the former homeless man.
Right now, MTV and ESPN are said to be battling to get him to work for them.
