LOS ANGELES (CBS) — A co-founder of the Pinkberry frozen yogurt chain remains jailed Tuesday after he was arrested at Los Angeles International Airport.

Young Lee, 47, who is facing a criminal charge of assault with a deadly weapon, is being held at the Metropolitan Detention Center.

KNX 1070′s Pete Demetriou reports.

A fugitive task force comprised of LAPD and FBI officials apprehended Lee, who is being held on $60,000 bail, following an overseas flight Monday afternoon.

Lee was arrested an outstanding warrant stemming from an alleged incident that took place in downtown Los Angeles in June of last year.

A kick-boxer and architect turned entrepreneur, Lee co-founded Pinkberry with partner Shelly Hwang in 2005.

The yogurt chain now has 100 locations worldwide, but its original West Hollywood location closed nearly two years ago.

A shame he’s possibly thrown his career down the drain over a panhandler.

Because thats what that “transient” was, is, a panhandler.

When will society get it that you don’t engage in conversations with those people because they can agitate you or involve you in a problem or what they most commonly do which is get you as a “donation friend”, a con.

Is it worth it to lose it all? And no, the pandhandler doesnt deserve assault, but how stupid this Pinkberry dude.

There’s just a lesson here.
