The off-duty cop who was punched and threatened by The Game at a charity basketball game is seeking major compensation from the incident.
The Game recently turned himself in after a warrant was issued for his arrest for punching the cop. The Game got out on a $50,000 bail but that definitely didn’t end the drama as the cop, Onyebuchi Awaji, has now has filed a $12 million lawsuit.
Onyebuchi is seeking a big pay day to help with his sufferings. According to court documents, the breakdown is as follows:
Pain and suffering: $1,000,000
Emotional distress: $1,000,000
Medical expenses (to date): $50,000
Medical expenses (future): $100,000
Punitive damages: $10 million
$12 million is a lot of money for suffering if you ask me, but hey I’ve seen the legal system work in some weirder ways before.
The Game is currently awaiting trial.
