Homeless man with "golden voice" questioned by police
 

I cant believe this guy is fucking up already



LOS ANGELES (Reuters) ? A homeless former radio announcer who became a YouTube sensation for his "golden voice" has been questioned by police after a disturbance at his Hollywood hotel.
Los Angeles police said two people were taken to the Hollywood station on Monday night to be interviewed following an incident at the Renaissance Hotel.
A police spokesman, Richard French, declined to identify the two people because they were not arrested or charged and would not elaborate on the disturbance.
"Hollywood patrol officers responded to a disturbance at the Renaissance Hotel in Hollywood at about 9 o'clock last night," French said.
"There was an investigation conducted there," he said. "Officers took 2 people back to Hollywood Station for further questioning. Those individuals were later released. There was booking, no arrest, no charges filed."
But local media and celebrity web sites reported that Ted Williams, 53, and his daughter were questioned after getting into an argument at the hotel.
Williams, a former radio announcer who became homeless after battling drugs and alcohol, attracted millions of YouTube hits last week after The Columbus Dispatch newspaper posted a video of him panhandling using radio emcee imitations.
He has since appeared on morning news programs including "The Today Show" to talk about new voice-over job offers with the Cleveland Cavaliers basketball team and foodmaker Kraft and his stunning instant rise from begging on the streets.

this happend a few days ago..yeah he got into it with his daughter..probably over his new found fame and money..where was she last week when homey was on the street with a sign?

He checked into rehab today.

He has a criminal past. More information is here: http://www.people.com/people/article...455781,00.html.

i dont get it, why did he checked into rehab today if he was clean for 2 years? rehab for what?

Booze, he's been drinking still. Confessed to Dr. Phil, who arranged the rehab today.

i saw the pic of this cat before i read the story about him and assumed it was about a homeless man that looked like president obama...am i the only one who see this resemblence?

I'm glad I wasn't the only one that see that.

Probably one of those revolving door rehabs that the usual Hollywood suspects bounce in and out of with numbing regularity.

Sad to hear that about this guy though.

Also for an ex radio announcer im surprised he misspelled "gratefully " on his pan-handler sign :Oh crap

Ok first of all welcome to like 4 days ago. 2nd so he had a loud argument. Who fucking cares. You never yelled at anyone? fuck off and mind you own business.

your shitting me a self admitted ex drug addict homeless guy with a criminal past ?

hope it wasn't his fault..

The only thing I find surprising is with all these brands rushing out to sign this guy none of them had the forethought to put a little of that money into a handler?

Dr. Phil can't help anyone. This guy needs Dr. Drew.

He does look like Obama!

this shit was kinda cool at first but damn its getting old fast

I'm tired of Dr.Phil.His bald bead ass is all over the place

Ok.......

The media won't leave him alone until he does fall off the wagon and does something horrible. They are going to be keeping a keen eye on him. They love these types of stories where people go from rags to riches and back to rags again.

lol
how is that even possible ?

I got a nice chuckle with the Obama pics... he does look like him.

No doubt the new money was gunna throw homey off the wagon real quick. He'll be back to the tent soon but hey hopefully he got his dick sucked in LA.

Dr. Drew can't help anyone either. He's just as much a joke. These asshats don't care about their patients, just the press it brings.

+1

It is only a matter of time and there will be an epic meltdown where he's either dead or on the streets again.

Hist first mistake was reaching out to his family. Much to fast to bring family drama into the equation.

I'm guessing his next mistake will be kicking it with the old friends from the 'hood.

You are surprised that a homeless dude fucked up?

His life has been a series of fuck ups until he was on the street. That's how it usually works.

he have a nice voice :)

what a voice, he deserve to get job
