Isaiah Lee, the man who allegedly attacked Dave Chappelle onstage at the Hollywood Bowl in May 2022, has officially been sentenced to jail.
Lee rushed the stage and tackled Chappelle during the Netflix Is a Joke live comedy show while carrying a replica gun that could eject a knife blade, according to the Los Angeles Police Department. The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office declined to pursue felony charges for Lee, who ultimately pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of battery and trespassing in a restricted area, as Entertainment Weekly reported.
Lee is set to serve 270 days in county jail and the weapon will be destroyed, a representative from the Los Angeles City Attorney’s office told EW. He still faces one attempted murder charge from an unrelated incident in which he allegedly stabbed his roommate with the aforementioned weapon.
Lee was held on 30,000 bail by the LAPD pending charges in May.

A man charged with attacking comedian Dave Chappelle while he was on stage back in May at the Hollywood Bowl has pleaded no contest.
Isaiah Lee was charged with one misdemeanor count each of battery and entering a restricted area during a live event. The 24-year-old was sentenced to 270 days in county jail, according to Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office.
The plea came about 1 1/2 months after a judge rejected the defense’s request for a diversion program that could have eventually resulted in the dismissal of the charges against Lee, who remains behind bars in connection with an unrelated case in which he is charged with stabbing his roommate at a transitional housing facility last year.
