The man accused of storming the stage and tackling Dave Chappelle Tuesday night won’t be prosecuted for felony assault, despite the fact he was holding a replica gun concealing a knife blade, prosecutors said
Lee’s older brother Aaron Lee, 31, toldthat his brother has struggled with mental health and housing instability since he moved to California from New York when he was around 11 years old.
Police said Isaiah Lee had “what appeared to be a handgun but was later discovered to be a replica, in his hand,” at the time of the alleged assault. The replica contained a knife blade, police said.After security and bystanders “took action and removed Lee” from the stage, he was detained, transported to a local hospital for medical treatment for injuries sustained during the altercation, and ultimately booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, LAPD said.
