Offset Sued by Dispensary Guard Over Alleged Attack at L.A. MedMen

Offset disputes the claim through a representative, with no further court action announced.

Overview

  • Security guard Jim Leobardo Sanchez filed a civil complaint on Oct. 28 in Los Angeles County Superior Court over a March 14 encounter at MedMen LAX.
  • The suit alleges Offset struck Sanchez after an ID request and that associates "grabbed, pushed, and further assaulted" him.
  • Paramedics treated Sanchez at the scene and transported him to Centinela Hospital for emergency care, the complaint states.
  • Sanchez seeks general, special and punitive damages exceeding $25,000 and demands a jury trial, with attorneys Michael T. Karikomi and Savion Cotten representing him.
  • Offset's camp previously called the allegation "complete and total BS" and claims the guard rushed and spat at him before using mace; coverage also notes IRS tax liens reported above $2.3 million and other ongoing legal disputes.
