*Dave Chappelle encountered some racist behavior while performing in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

Santa Fe police say a man threw a banana peel during his set Monday night at the Lensic Performing Arts Center, hitting the comic in the leg.

Police Lt. Andrea Dobyns says 30-year-old Christian Englander of Santa Fe was arrested on suspicion of misdemeanor disorderly conduct and battery.

Dobyns says Englander acknowledged throwing a peel from a banana he had eaten earlier because he took offense to jokes Chappelle made about his companion.

Police say Englander appeared to be intoxicated after event security escorted him outside.

He remained in jail at press time Tuesday.
