Dave Chappelle’s Alleged Attacker Reportedly Receives Plea Deal Offer

Rolling Stone has learned that Isaiah Lee, the person who allegedly jumped onstage and tackled Dave Chappelle during his comedy set, is considering a plea deal offer from prosecutors in his misdemeanor case. 

Lee, 23, appeared in an L.A. courthouse Thursday where he agreed to a two-month delay in the probable case hearing for a separate incident in which he’s being charged with attempted murder. Lee allegedly stabbed his roommate during an altercation at a transitional housing apartment in December. 

The charge surfaced two weeks after the incident with Chappelle at the Netflix Is a Joke event. Lee has been charged with 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. 

Lee’s attorney Chelsea Padilla requested a delay in the Chappelle case, so her office could “see if there’s a disposition in the felony matter which would potentially resolve (this case) as well.” When asked by Deputy City Attorney Giselle Fernandez if Padilla intended to declare doubt as to Lee’s mental competency, she responded, “Not at this time.”
