"Lisa Ann Detained by NYPD at Matt Rife Comedy Show"

Adult film star Lisa Ann was detained by NYPD after allegedly using her cell phone during a Matt Rife comedy show at Radio City Music Hall. Ann claimed she did nothing wrong and was given the choice of being taken to a hospital or being arrested. She was ultimately released without citation after spending time in handcuffs and being sent to an ambulance for medical evaluation. Ann denied using her phone, but a source alleged she was recording the show and became disruptive when asked to stop. Comedians have become increasingly strict about cell phone use during shows, and Rife had his own incident involving leaked footage in November.
