According to the Los Angeles Daily News, in April 2016, Allen, 28, choked and assaulted a woman, and then months later, attacked her again and chased her into a coffee shop where she’d run for help.

“Allen chased her into the coffee shop and threw a glass vase at a woman who attempted to help the victim and attacked another man who also tried to intervene,” prosecutors said, the Daily News reports.

Allen went batshit inside the shop until customers took him down, authorities said. On Thursday he was sentenced to a year in Los Angeles County Jail and five years of probation after he is released.

He was also featured in Step Up and Freak Dance, movies no one watched.
