Mike Epps was arrested after he was accused of hitting a man at a New Orleans casino on Saturday, PEOPLE confirms. Epps, 46, was taken into custody with 52-year-old Thomas Cobb after the pair allegedly “struck” a man from Virginia at Harrah’s Casino early Saturday, a New Orleans municipal court official tells PEOPLE. (Cobb is a longtime collaborator with Epps.) The man they allegedly hit said he was in town for the NBA All-Star Game, which was held at the casino, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by the New Orleans Advocate. The incident was described as “a physical altercation” that led to Cobb and Epps being arrested and booked for municipal counts of battery, the court official tells PEOPLE. Epps and Cobb were released on $1,000 bail, according to the municipal court clerk official. They both failed to appear in court for their arraignment Tuesday morning and a warrant has been issued for their arrests.
