He was reportedly arrested at the venue and now faces two charges of assault in the third degree, one charge of aggravated harassment in the second degree, one charge of attempted assault in the third degree, and one charge of harassment in the second degree.
Per The Independent, Nicholas told a police officer at the scene that he threw the phone at Bebe because he thought it “would be funny.”
“I was trying to see if I could hit her with the phone at the end of the show because it would be funny,” he purportedly said.
