'The fact that this isn't charged as a felony case by the DA is insane,' an attorney for the comedian said on Gascón's decision.
Lee, who was initially booked on suspicion of assault with a deadly weapon, remains jailed in lieu of $30,000 bail. If he manages to post bail and is released, he was ordered to remain at least 100 yards away from Chappelle and the Hollywood Bowl.
If convicted of all counts, Lee could face up to 18 months in county jail and/or up to $4,000 in fines, according to the City Attorney's Office. On Instagram, Lee goes by the moniker "Noname_Trapper," which is the name of a rapper whose work includes a 2020 song titled "Dave Chappelle." Lee posted a short video on Instagram on Tuesday, saying nothing but showing him wearing the same hooded sweatshirt in which he is pictured wearing while handcuffed to the paramedics' gurney Tuesday night after the attack.
Tuesday's attack occurred on the final night of a four-night engagement of Chappelle and fellow performers at the Bowl as part of the "Netflix Is A Joke Festival."
