An X Factor contestant walks off stage and out the door while still wearing his microphone. The studio calls then call the police who handcuff the aspiring singer and bring him back into the building.
Tonight’s X-Factor Features Contestant Cuffed for Allegedly Stealing Equipment
You might recognize him as the contestant who gets handcuffed in the teaser for tonight’s episode of “X Factor” singing “I’m getting arrested!”and now we know exactly WHY he ended up in shackles.
Walked Off Stage with Equipment
It all happened in June during the “X Factor” auditions in Kansas City, law enforcement sources say, Deangelo Wallace had just finished auditioning , when he walked off the stage and out of the Sprint Center still wearing his microphone.
According to law enforcement sources, producers called police claiming the sound equipment had been stolen and cops caught up with Wallace near the venue.
We’re told Wallace was cuffed and brought back to the Sprint Center, where he then returned the missing electronics.
Not Booked But Still Not Picked
Once the mic pack was returned, producers declined to press charges so Wallace went on his way … leaving his “X Factor” dreams behind him. He was NOT booked for a crime.
As for why Wallace stormed off — we’re told he had a nasty exchange with the judges, and was upset they didn’t like his performance.
Attempts to reach Wallace were unsuccessful.
