CALIFORNIA BRIEFING / WEST HOLLYWOOD
Actor-comedian Faizon Love was charged Monday in connection with an incident in which he allegedly punched a man outside the Standard Hotel in West Hollywood last month.
Deputy Dist. Atty. Roberto Rubalcava said Love, 40, was charged with one count of felony assault by means likely to produce great bodily injury.
Love allegedly got into a verbal altercation Jan. 7 with a group outside the hotel and then allegedly assaulted a man, punching him twice. Love was not arrested at the time.
Prosecutors are asking that bail be set at $30,000. If convicted, Love could face up to four years in prison.
