Comedian Faizon love pleads not guilty to felony assault charges after being accused of hitting a female hotel clerk in the head with a credit card reader after a mixup with his reservation...
From NBC News
Actor Faizon Love appeared before a San Diego County judge on Tuesday, roughly seven months after San Diego police say he ripped a credit card reader off its mount and threw it at a hotel clerk, hitting the left side of her head and breaking her glasses.
The famous actor and comedian is well-known for his roles in hit movies like "Elf," "The Replacements," "Couples Retreat" and "Friday."
A warrant was put out for his arrest in October after he was charged with assault with a deadly weapon, a felony. Investigators said he attacked the receptionist after he was told the hotel had no vacancy, despite using a third-party hotel booking app. He pleaded not guilty on Tuesday.
The San Diego County District Attorney’s Office said he was released after the hearing. He’s scheduled to be back in court in April. They said he faces a maximum of seven years in prison if convicted.
NBC 7 reached out to Love through his Instagram page to give him a chance to respond to the charge he faces. His only response was, “San Diego The Finest City in America, it's Good to come home and feel you still belong ... Viva ! Las Cuatro Milpas!!!”
The clerk filed a personal injury lawsuit against Love, seeking monetary damages for her medical bills and for the physical and emotional pain she suffered. She says she got a concussion from the attack.
