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.

It was on May 3 while Chappelle was on stage performing a show for the Netflix Is a Joke Festival when Lee rushed the stage and threw the comedian to the ground.
