Charleston White is booked on a Broward battery caption. A denial is not a dismissal.

One misdemeanor touch-or-strike battery caption, and a Broward County booking of comedian Charleston White, are not a conviction. Bond review and a later reported release are process, not an acquittal. A representative's denial, including a claim that he was attacked, is a defense account. The arrest narrative and that defense narrative are competing accounts for a court, not settled facts.

Charleston White, 49, a comedian and YouTuber, was arrested by Hollywood, Florida, police and booked into the Broward County jail on a misdemeanor charge reported as Touch or Strike, Battery. Bond was initially pending a judge's review. Later reporting said he was released. TMZ published the booking on Sept. 12, 2026, and updated the account on Sept. 18 with a statement from his representative. The statement, as reported, denies the accusations. It claims he was "violently attacked by the plaintiff" and left with a bloody nose, that the two stayed overnight in separate areas, and that he disputes claims of a stolen phone and door damage. On those points the statement says she threw the phone in a pool and that the door was already damaged. Those sentences are his side, relayed by a representative. The word plaintiff is the statement's word.

This file does not name a complainant, does not place the alleged strike at an address, and does not treat a booking as a conviction. All defendants are presumed innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
