Overview
- Prosecutors say the incident took place during closing hours at a downtown Houston nightclub when a security guard escorting a woman was struck in the head with a glass hookah base, according to charging papers.
- The guard was taken to St. Joseph Hospital and received eight staples to a head wound, a detail cited in police and court records that formed part of the aggravated assault allegation.
- Court filings and witnesses identified Torrence Hatch Jr., known as Boosie Badazz, as the man seen holding broken glass from the hookah, and a warrant led to his arrest and charging in Harris County.
- Boosie appeared in Harris County court this week and was released after processing a walk‑through bond set at $85,000; prosecutors have signaled they will pursue additional evidence including surveillance footage and medical records.
- Boosie has publicly denied the accusations, calling the case a 'money grab' while his attorneys say they will review video and witness accounts; the next scheduled court date is in September as the case moves through evidence gathering.
