Snoop cleared of fan attack, though his company to pay damages

Snoop Dogg has been cleared of personal involvement in a 2005 attack on a fan, though his company and crew must pay nearly $300,000 in damages.

Snoop Dogg has sort of won that previously reported court case in which he was accused of assault and battery for hitting out at a fan who invaded the stage at a 2005 concert.

Richard Monroe Jr was suing for $15 million in his somewhat optimistic lawsuit, in which he accused Snoop of hitting him with a microphone, and Snoop's entourage of giving him a full on beating back stage. The wounded fan's lawsuit wasn't totally unsuccessful - the court ruled that Monroe was severely injured at the hands of Snoop's people at the Seattle concert, and ordered the hip hopper's company and other members of his crew to pay nearly $300,000 in damages.

However, Snoop himself was cleared of any personal involvement in the attack on the gig goer.
