Battery
On May 6, 2006, then 22-year-old Radke met with Marcel Colquitt near
Shadow Ridge High School, at north end of
Decatur Boulevard, at approximately 2:30 PM to fight.
[26][27] Each man brought additional men to support them in the fight, with new reports placing the number of those involved at anywhere from six to eight individuals. During the fight,
22-year-old Chase Rader, a man who had accompanied Radke, shot 18-year-old Michael Allen Cook three times, killing him, as well as wounding another man, Colquitt's brother.
[28] Rader was arrested for and charged with murder but the
district attorney declined to prosecute him, despite his
confession, as it was determined Rader acted in
self-defense.
[29][30]
Radke and Colquitt were criminally charged for their involvement in Cook's death, although Colquitt committed suicide before he could stand trial.[31] On January 18, 2008, Radke pleaded guilty to
battery with substantial bodily harm in relation to Cook's death and subsequently was ordered to be placed on
probation for five years, and he was ordered to pay $92,372 in
restitution to Cook's mother.
[32][33] After Radke violated the terms of his probation, he was made to serve two and a half years in prison.
[34][35][36]
Because of his criminal activity and prison sentence,
Escape the Fate fired Radke.
Craig Mabbitt, formerly of the band
Blessthefall, replaced the imprisoned Radke.

Disturbance of the peace
On May 1, 2012,
Radke was accused of striking his then-girlfriend, Sally Watts, and was subsequently arrested in
Glendale, Californiaon August 6, 2012, after he'd failed to make an appearance at any of the scheduled
court hearings.
[39][40] He was officially charged with a
misdemeanor count of corporal injury and misdemeanor false imprisonment by the
Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department.
[41] He was released on $30,000 bail. On May 14, 2014, Radke pleaded
nolo contendere to
disturbance of the peace, though Watts claimed on
Twitter that Radke had pleaded nolo contendere to a charge related to domestic violence.

Assault
On September 29, 2012, Radke was performing as part of
Falling in Reverse for FestEVIL, a
punk rock festival for
Six Flags Great Adventure's
Fright Fest event, when
he threw three microphone stands into the audience at the close of a performance, injuring a 16-year-old girl, who was taken to the hospital, and a 24-year-old man, who was treated at the scene.
[44] Radke was charged with simple assault and aggravated assault and released on $25,000 bail.
[45][46] Radke publicly apologized for his actions, saying that his actions were not in anger and that he'd not intended to hurt anyone.
[47][48] Six Flagssubsequently decided to ban hard rock and heavy metal bands from performing at the park in the future.

Defamation lawsuit
On June 10, 2015, it was reported that
Radke had been publicly accused of sexual assault by 25-year-old Katelynd "Kacee" Boswell, of Salt Lake City, Utah. Boswell alleged that Radke (with his bus driver present) had sexually assaulted her after Falling in Reverse's performance at
Murray Theater on June 3, 2015. Though it was determined that Radke had contact with Boswell, police found no evidence that Radke or his entourage had assaulted Boswell as she'd claimed they did and an eyewitness reported that she was visibly intoxicated upon exiting Radke's vehicle.
[50] Radke subsequently brought suit against Boswell for
defamation in Los Angeles courts.
