Afroman is joining the likes of artists who have not taken lightly to a fan interrupting them in mid-performance, as he was arrested for punching a female fan on stage at his concert.

According to TMZ, the “Because I Got High” star was playing his guitar for a packed crowd in Biloxi, Misssissippi, when the fan got on stage, and started dancing next to him. Afroman reacted by turning and punching her right in the face with a right hook, knocking her to the ground.

While the fan was able to get up on her own, she was bleeding and crying, resulting in Afroman being arrested immediately after the incident, and later released on $330 bail. The site reports that he was upset with the lack of security at the concert, and didn’t realize the person he was about to hit a woman when getting ready to swing.

His rep told reports, “This was a completely involuntary reflex reaction to people infringing on his stage space. It was uncharacteristic behavior that was initiated by outside uncontrolled forces.”

The owner of the venue said otherwise of the security’s job, releasing a statement of their own to WLOX, saying, “We had roughly 12-15 security guards in a crowd of 500 people. Kress Live does not condone this type of behavior. We like to keep a safe environment, and we addressed the situation the best way we could…If you watch the video closely, you’ll see her boyfriend jump up on stage right after the hit. He was followed right behind by security. There was security at the front point of the stage and he was rotating through the crowd to get to the back,. Talking about the contract between Kress Live and Afroman, we have met every single obligation noted.”
