Teen body-slammed by grown man at In-N-Out sought 'mental health treatment'

A 15-year-old boy, who endured a frightening incident involving a Colorado businessman at an In-N-Out Burger, had to receive mental health support following the event, sources told The Post.

The businessman, Lucas Kalisher, agreed to a plea deal that required him to compensate the teenager with $207 for the treatment he needed after the widely circulated video of the altercation in Loveland, Colorado, on August 4, 2024.

Kalisher, formerly the CEO of Boulder-based private equity firm Summit Source Funding, was sentenced on Monday by Larimer County Judge Carroll Michelle Brinegar. His sentencing includes 30 months of probation, an anger management assessment and treatment, and 120 hours of community service.

Additionally, he must compose an apology letter to the teenager and cover any further costs for the youth’s mental health treatment, as confirmed by a spokesperson from the Larimer County District Attorney’s Office to The Post.

Originally, Kalisher faced charges of class four felony second-degree assault with strangulation and misdemeanor child abuse, with a potential sentence of up to six years in prison if convicted.

However, he pleaded guilty to a reduced charge—classified as a class five felony—on Monday. Should he violate the terms of his plea, he risks a three-year prison sentence.

DA spokesperson Kylie Massman said the victim and his parents met with the DA’s office several times before the plea and gave it their stamp of approval.

“They were consulted and were in full agreement with going forward with that,” Massman said.

During the incident, the teen was playing around with two pals, splashing water when he accidentally got some on Kalisher’s wife. The boy then went over to apologize to the woman when Kalisher accosted him, putting him in a chokehold and flinging him backward onto the floor.

“You don’t treat a lady that way,” Kalisher said.

Other patrons in the restaurant told Kalisher he shouldn’t be “picking on a kid like that.”

He and his wife left the joint but Kalisher turned himself in to the cops that night.

In April 2025, he pleaded not guilty and was released on $75,000 bond.

Kalisher’s criminal defense attorney didn’t immediately return a request for comment.
