LOS ANGELES — While police say the man who tackled comedian Dave Chappelle onstage at the Hollywood Bowl had a replica gun with a knife, Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascón’s office declined Thursday to file felony charges.
Isaiah Lee, 23, was arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon and was being held on $30,000 bail.
The district attorney’s office has referred the case to the Los Angeles city attorney’s office for misdemeanor filing consideration. After reviewing the evidence, prosecutors determined that while criminal conduct occurred, the evidence as presented did not constitute felony conduct. The D.A.'s office does not prosecute misdemeanor crimes within the city of Los Angeles.
