Previously, a man named Zachary Benton was arrested along with another man named Edward Hamlett for felony battery after the two allegedly beat a Nardo Wick fan who asked the rapper for a photo after a show in Florida. The incident found the two men beating 20-year-old fan George Obregon, leaving the fan with a brain bleed and a concussion.
Since then, Benton’s bond was set at $2,000, but it appears Benton lost out on his bond after skipping a court appearance. Benton was scheduled to appear in court on March 18 but was a no-show. Stay tuned for more updates.

Obregon suffered critical injuries, including a brain bleed and concussion. The incident occurred when Obregon approached Wick hoping to meet him. Benton and Hamlett allegedly attacked Obregon, leaving him unconscious. Obregon's parents expressed outrage and accused Wick of not cooperating with police. However, Wick denied involvement in the assault and offered to help the victim's family.
