He then made a another effort to breach security. Security staff prevented him and pinned him down.
Wen later posted video clips thanking Grande for letting him on the carpet and said he was "at liberty."
Police took him into custody the subsequent day and charged him with disorderly conduct, to which he confessed.
The Presiding Judge the judicial official was cited by a news outlet as stating that he was looking for publicity, commenting that he was incorrect to believe he would not suffer any consequences.

Cynthia Erivo spoke about the incident to a media outlet, remarking that she "only aimed to make sure my colleague was safe."
"I'm sure he had no intention to us harm, but you never know with those things, and I wanted to confirm that she was fine. That was my initial reaction," she said.
