Offset Given 50 Hours of Community Service for Assault of Weed Dispensary Guard
The order could dismiss the misdemeanor charge if the rapper completes 50 hours of community service, anger management and restitution.
- On Wednesday, July 15, a Los Angeles judge approved a one-year diversion program for rapper Kiari Cephus, known as Offset, postponing his misdemeanor battery prosecution stemming from a 2025 altercation at a MedMen dispensary.
- During the March 13, 2025 incident at MedMen LAX, Cephus allegedly refused to show identification, repeatedly asking "Do you know who I am?" before striking security guard Jim Leobardo Sanchez in the face.
- Under the diversion agreement, the criminal charge will be dismissed if Cephus completes 50 hours of community service, attends an anger management program, pays restitution, and avoids further legal violations for 12 months.
- Sanchez filed a separate civil lawsuit alleging assault, battery, and intentional infliction of emotional distress, which remains pending despite the criminal diversion order approved on Wednesday.
- Cephus pleaded not guilty to the criminal count and denied wrongdoing regarding the incident, which occurred more than 14 months ago; a civil hearing is scheduled for August 5.
