Boosie has been charged with felony assault, after allegedly hitting a bouncer with a hookah base
Baton Rouge rapper Boosie Badazz was in Houston court on Monday and now faces an aggravated assault charge after he allegedly hit a security guard in the back of the head with a glass hookah in Houston last week.
According to court records, on May 24, the security guard claimed that a woman at the club requested to use the bathroom; however, he told her that the bathrooms were closed as the establishment was no longer open. The security said the woman became upset before striking him in the face with her elbow.
The security guard claimed that while escorting the woman towards the exit, she dropped her items on the floor, and he bent down to help her when he felt an object strike the top of his head. Court records said that when the security guard turned around, blood began running down his face, and he allegedly saw Boosie, whose real name is Torrence Hatch, holding a broken glass hookah base in his hand.
The security guard was later transported to a hospital, where he received eight staples to his head.
At a hearing on Monday morning, Hatch’s bond was set at $85,000. Hatch’s lawyer explained that this is a “walk-through bond,” meaning that he does not have to go back into custody.
“He suddenly felt an object strike the top of his head, causing immediate pain and injury,” a police officer testified in charging documents. “Mr. Iglehart stated that when he turned, he observed blood running down his face and observed the defendant holding a broken glass hookah base in his hand.”
Police say Iglehart’s injuries resulted in a trip to the hospital and eight stitches. “Based on my training and experience I believe that a glass hookah base in the manner of this use can cause serious bodily injury or death,” the officer wrote in charging documents.
