Overview

  • At a Van Nuys arraignment, a judge set bail at $75,000 with conditions that include drug-treatment requirements.
  • He is charged with three counts of battery with injury on a police officer and one count of resisting an executive officer, prosecutors said.
  • LAPD says officers encountered him nude early Aug. 21 in Studio City, that he charged at them, and that he was taken to a hospital for a suspected overdose before booking.
  • His attorney said there is no evidence of illegal drug use and called the incident an aberration in an otherwise productive life.
  • A pretrial hearing is set for Sept. 15, and if convicted he could face years in prison under statutory maximums.
