LOS ANGELES — The man who attacked comedian Dave Chappelle onstage at the Hollywood Bowl in May has been sentenced to nearly nine months in jail.
Isaiah Lee, 24, who pleaded no contest to one charge of misdemeanor battery and one charge of entering a restricted area during a live event, was sentenced Wednesday to 270 days in county jail, according to the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office.
In August, Lee’s attorney, Deputy Public Defender Chelsea Padilla, requested that her client be placed in a mental health diversion program. Prosecutors opposed the motion and a judge rejected Lee’s request, which could have resulted in a dismissal of charges against him.
