PHARRELL Williams, a man from Bristol with links to Weston-super-Mare, has been arrested and recalled to prison.

Avon and Somerset Police announced this morning (Thursday, July 25) that the 20-year-old was arrested and recalled in the evening of Wednesday, July 24.

Police issued an appeal on Wednesday to help locate Williams, informing the public that he was wanted, and urging them not to approach him.

A statement issued this morning reads: "Wanted man Pharrell Williams was arrested by officers in Bristol last night.

"The 20-year-old has been recalled to prison.

"We'd like everyone who got in touch with information or shared yesterday's appeal to trace him."

Several members of the public pointed fun at Williams for his name, which he shares with the 50-year-old American singer, known best for hits such as 'Happy' and 'Get Lucky'.

One X user said: "Not so 'happy' now, is he!"

Another added: "Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do."
