Boosie Badazz Faces Felony Assault Charge, Gets $85,000 Bond After Hookah Attack Allegation

$85,000 bond was set for Boosie Badazz in Harris County, where the rapper faces a felony aggravated assault charge and a new court date of Sept. 15.
Court records say he struck a Houston nightclub security guard in the back of the head with a glass hookah base as the club closed during Memorial Day weekend.
Police say the confrontation began after the guard refused a woman restroom access at 2 a.m. and started escorting her out; the guard later needed eight staples.
Boosie's attorney said he was not taken into custody and argued the rapper had been defending another person at the downtown Dome nightclub.
