Dave Chappelle alleged attacker's request to have bail reduced denied by judge

Isaiah Lee is being held on $30,000 bail

The request by Dave Chappelle's alleged attacker to have his bail reduced was denied on Tuesday.

Isaiah Lee, 23, appeared in court Tuesday, according to FOX 11. His lawyer requested that Los Angeles Superior Court Judge Armenui Amy Ashvanian release Lee on his own recognizance, City News Service reported. Lee is being held on $30,000 bail.

A representative for Chappelle did not respond to Fox News Digital's immediate request for comment.

The request by Dave Chappelle's alleged attacker to have his bail reduced was denied by a judge during a court hearing on Tuesday.

L.A. City Attorney Mike Feuer charged Lee with four misdemeanor counts: battery, possession of a weapon with intent to assault, unauthorized access to the stage area during a performance, and commission of an act that delays the event or interferes with the performer.

"My office takes protecting public safety extremely seriously, and we are going to vigorously prosecute this case," Feuer said in a video.

The charges from the City Attorney's Office followed Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascón’s decision to decline felony charges.

"The Los Angeles County District Attorney’s Office has referred the case to the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office for misdemeanor filing consideration," Greg Risling, spokesperson for the Los Angeles County District Attorney's Office, told Fox News Digital in a statement Thursday.

"After reviewing the evidence, prosecutors determined that while criminal conduct occurred, the evidence as presented did not constitute felony conduct. The District Attorney’s Office does not prosecute misdemeanor crimes within the City of Los Angeles."
