Both have been ordered to appear in court at a later date. Police say the victim says she will press for charges, but it will be ultimately up to the District Attorney's office to decide what, if any charges will be filed.
Authorities tell us the incident happened shortly before 2 a.m. PT Thursday at the Colony Club on North Cahuenga Blvd. Epperson says the argument happened after a girl cut in line in the bathroom and words
were exchanged.
