Offset Avoids Jail Time in Assault Case
21 Jul
Summary
- Offset received 12 months probation and 50 hours community service.
- He must complete an anger management program and pay restitution.
- Criminal charges to be dismissed upon successful completion of terms.
Offset has been sentenced to 12 months of probation and 50 hours of community service for an alleged assault on a security guard. The incident occurred last year at a Los Angeles weed dispensary. The rapper must also complete an anger management program and pay restitution to the victim.
This sentence is part of a diversion program. If Offset adheres to all conditions, the criminal charge related to the assault will be dismissed. He is also required to stay away from the MedMen LAX dispensary and avoid further legal trouble for the next year.
Despite the resolution of the criminal case, Offset still faces a civil lawsuit. The security guard sued the rapper for assault, battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, alleging he was struck in the face and physically assaulted by Offset and his entourage.
