The strange case of Pinkberry founder Young Lee just got stranger. Lee was arrested Monday at Los Angeles International Airport for allegedly attacking a homeless man with a tire iron last summer. The motive? Police say he was offended by the man's sexually explicit tattoo. The homeless man was asking drivers for money in East Hollywood when Lee spotted the tattoo. Lee allegedly rolled down his window and demanded the man kneel and apologize. The man did so, but police say Lee chased him down and beat him with a tire iron nonetheless. Lee, who ended his involvement with Pinkberry in 2010, was charged with drug possession and battery in 2001.
