Los Angeles, CA – Feezy Lebron has filed a $10million tort claim against the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department and Sheriff’s Deputy Justin Sabatine for allegedly threatening to shoot and kill him.

Filing the claim through his attorneys, both of whom are from civil rights law firms, Lebron (real name Darral Scott) alleges that he was sitting alone in his car in a Gardena parking lot on the evening of New Year’s Eve when he was aggressively swarmed by a pair of LASD deputies. The unarmed rapper said he was live streaming with fans and listening to music at the time.

Deputy Justin Sabatine claimed Feezy Lebron was smoking weed in his car and bodycam footage caught him threatening to shoot the Los Angeles-based rapper in the chest.

“Move your hands from right there and you’re done,” he says in the frightening footage. “You take off in this car, I’m gonna shoot you. I’m gonna make it super easy on you. You put this car in drive, you’re getting one right to the chest.

“I don’t care what you got, I don’t care if you got bullshit on you, but guess what bro, now you gotta deal with it. But if you pull some bullshit you’re gonna take one to the chest.”

Lebron was detained for 30 minutes and handcuffed in the back of a patrol car while the officers ransacked his vehicle. He was eventually ticketed for a missing front license plate. The rapper also shared audio from the incident.

According to Lebron’s attorneys from the Hadsell Stormer Renick & Dai LLP and Cohen Williams LLP firms, he’s unable to sleep, still getting panic attacks and scared to drive since the tense exchange.

“I wanted to spend New Year’s Eve with my family,” Lebron said. “Instead I wound up in a life-or-death situation, my heart racing, in fear for my life, with a deputy sheriff pointing a gun at my chest and threatening to kill me. I want justice so that my son and young people today never have to feel the fear that I felt that night.”

In a statement, Morgan Ricketts of Hadsell Stormer Renick & Dai LLP said: “Threatening young Black men at gunpoint is not law enforcement, it’s thuggery. Every resident of Los Angeles has the right to go about their days and nights without having to fear violent assault by an officer of the law. When that right is abridged, it’s important to hold law enforcement agencies to account.”

“Deputy Sabatine’s brazen actions here are shocking, and they are terrifying. They are not only unconstitutional, they are criminal,” Reuven Cohen of Cohen Williams LLP added. “We are seeking justice for Mr. Lebron through civil litigation, and we are asking both state and federal prosecutors to criminally investigate and prosecute Deputy Sabatine.

“The County of Los Angeles continues to prove its abject inability — if not unwillingness — to protect the people of Los Angeles from the Los Angeles Sheriff’s Department.”

In California, the law states that a tort claim must be filed before going after the County and Sheriff’s deputies in a suit seeking monetary damages.

On the music side of things, Feezy Lebron dropped his new single “Toxic” last week featuring Wiz Khalifa. Listen to it here.
