Internet Sensation Ted Williams Briefly Held by LAPD

Williams taped segments with his family members that will air Wednesday and Thursday. During the discussion, he admitted to drinking — an addiction he suffered in the past. The Brooklyn native began drinking and using drugs in 1996 and as a result, he lost his radio job and his home. Earlier this week, he said he's been sober for two years.

On Monday, Williams and his daughter were briefly held by police after they responded to a disturbance report at a Los Angeles hotel. No charges were filed.
