Offset Granted Probation Over LA Dispensary Assault

Offset, born Kiari Cephus, has avoided jail time in a Los Angeles misdemeanor assault case tied to a March 2025 confrontation at a MedMen cannabis dispensary, after a diversion/probation path was approved. A judge granted a one-year diversion during which Offset must complete 50 hours of community service or 12 months? (Note: based on articles, the terms include community service, anger management, and staying away from the MedMen location) and, if he complies, the charge will be dismissed. He has also been ordered to avoid threats, possibly pay restitution, and maintain good behavior, with a progress hearing set for November. While prosecutors described the incident as a violent assault against the security guard, Offset has denied wrongdoing, citing the guard’s account and civil claims that remain unresolved. The case has generated ongoing civil litigation with the security guard, and TMZ notes Offset’s probation alongside these arrangements, with several outlets reporting similar terms across multiple articles.
