Records reveal most detailed account of Dave Chappelle attack, but motive a mystery

LOS ANGELES — Records from the Los Angeles County district attorney’s office reveal new details about the chaotic moments Tuesday night when a man with a replica gun and knife leapt onto the stage at the Hollywood Bowl and attacked Dave Chappelle.

The document offers the most detailed narrative yet about what happened and also offers an explanation for why the district attorney didn’t file criminal charges against Isaiah Lee, the man accused in the incident.

Instead, Los Angeles City Attorney Mike Feuer filed four misdemeanor charges — including battery and possession of a weapon with intent to assault — against Lee, 23, who was initially arrested on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon.
