The case has been referred to the Los Angeles city attorney’s office, which prosecutes misdemeanors within the city.
LOS ANGELES — The man arrested on suspicion of tackling comedian Dave Chappelle during a performance at the Hollywood Bowl will not be charged with any felonies, the district attorney’s office said Thursday. Isaiah Lee,23, was arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, police said, after rushing the stage toward the end of Chappelle’s set in the last of a four-night stint at the outdoor amphitheater as part of the “Netflix Is a Joke” festival. He was carrying a replica handgun with a large blade that folded out of it similar to a pocket knife, according to a photo released by police. “After reviewing the evidence, prosecutors determined that while criminal conduct occurred, the evidence as presented did not constitute felony conduct,” the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office said in a statement.
