The man who attacked Dave Chappelle on stage during his Netflix Is a Joke Festival show in May has been sentenced.

Isaiah Lee has been sentenced to 270 days in jail after pleading no contest to one count of misdemeanor and one count of entering a restricted area during a live event, a spokesperson for the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office confirmed to PEOPLE.

A judge previously denied Lee’s attorney, Deputy District Attorney Chelsea Padilla, a request to participate in a mental health diversion program, which could have resulted in charges being dropped, according to Los Angeles Times.

Padilla did not immediately respond to PEOPLE’s request for comment.

Lee, 24, currently remains behind bars after being charged with attempted murder for allegedly stabbing his roommate in December 2021.

Charges were filed by Los Angeles County District Attorney George Gascon in May, according to a press release.

Officials said Lee was charged after he stabbed his roommate during a fight in a move-in apartment on December 2, 2021. Because of the amount of media attention generated by the alleged attack on Chappelle, “the victim recently identified Lee as the person who committed the assault he reported to police from Before “.

“The publicity generated by the attack on Mr. Chapelle helped the police solve this crime,” said Gascon. “The incident at the Hollywood Bowl was misdemeanor conduct and has been properly referred to the city attorney’s office. Based on the nature and severity of the December attack, Mr. Lee now faces criminal charges that my office will prosecute.”
