Just in time for this Sunday's "Real Housewives of Atlanta' reunion show, the Atlanta Police Department served Porsha Williams with an arrest warrant for her attack (captured on film) on Kenya Moore.

Kenya called the police two weeks ago after the fight happened and filed a report.

Tonight, Williams turned herself in, got her mug shot taken and left on a $2,000 bond, according to APD. (Thank you, my fellow AJC staffer Alexis Stevens for making the call.)

She was charged with a misdemeanor battery. I presume a fine is in order and maybe a few hours of community service.

Insiders say Kenya goaded Porsha with attacks on her broken marriage and Porsha cracked. And as trailers show, Kenya used props: a scepter and a bullhorn. Ultimately, it's much ado about nothing relatively speaking but it's reality ratings gold for Bravo.

TMZ broke the story. TMZ has broken virtually all Porsha-related stories the past  year. Folks are obviously gleefully feeding them the info for $$$ because the site pays for information.
