The first to report on the news was Us Weekly, stating that Chestnut was in Hamilton County, Indiana at Joe\u2019s Grill when he slapped a man while drunk. Slapping the individual in the face, the incident took place Mar. 21 at approximately 2:00 a.m. Indiana is the home state of the 17-time Nathan\u2019s Hot Dog Eating Contest champion.

It\u2019s alleged that the victim had recognized Chestnut while at the bar, approaching him and exchanging a handshake just before the food icon \u201cslapped him\u201d on his face, specifically on the left side, according to the outlet.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe accused pulled [the victim] forward, moves closer and uses his right hand to strike [the victim] on the face with an open hand. [The victim] is observed reacting to the strike and moving his head downward and holding it there while the accused stands over him and [his friend],\u201d stated the police officer in an affidavit that was obtained by Us Weekly. \u201c[Chestnut] moves toward [the victim] again and [the victim] moves away from the accused.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cThe touching was nude, insolent or angry because the open-handed strike was nonconsensual to the victim in a manner that caused pain while the accused allegedly used provocative language toward the victim to illicit a reaction.\u201d<\/p>\n

The police officer went on to say that Chestnut\u2018s smack \u201cresulted in bodily injury to [victim] in that he had a complaint of pain to the left side of his face.\u201d<\/p>\n

Stating that he was \u201cpretty drunk and didn\u2019t remember,\u201d Chestnut put in a guilty plea to the charge of battery resulting in bodily injury. Apr. 20 was when he was sentenced.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Things between the two deescalated quickly, with Chestnut taking \u201cfull responsibility for this misunderstanding,\u201d according to his attorney while speaking with\u00a0Us Weekly.<\/p>\n

After filing petitions so he could travel away from Indiana, Chestnut was granted permission to travel to Coney Island, Brooklyn, New York to be able to compete in the Nathan\u2019s Hot Dog Eating Contest, which is set for July 4.<\/p>\n
