Assault charges against Fat Joe were dropped by the Manhattan District Attorney in New York last Tuesday, due to lack of evidence. The charges stem from a brawl at B.B. King’s in Times Square, in which a 31-year-old man was assaulted. Joe didn’t turn himself in until July 10 because he was on tour. The victim claimed he was involved in a dispute with a member of Joe’s crew. The victim suffered a broken jaw, after the rapper allegedly punched him. Joe maintained his innocence after the victim had plucked him from the police lineup. The rapper faced a maximum of 15 years in prison.
