Tyrone Blackburn, the attorney representing Terrance “T.A.” Dixon in lawsuits against Fat Joe, has been indicted for allegedly running over a process server with his vehicle, TMZ has learned. Law enforcement sources confirm the indictment stems from a May incident, though it will remain sealed until Blackburn’s arraignment.
The Alleged Incident
The alleged confrontation occurred while Blackburn was being served legal papers related to the ongoing Fat Joe litigation. Authorities say Blackburn got into his car while the 66-year-old process server attempted to deliver documents.
According to law enforcement, Blackburn allegedly put his vehicle in reverse and struck the server in the leg, causing a knee injury severe enough that surgery was required.
The process server reportedly sustained a somewhat major knee injury, adding a new layer of controversy to the already high-profile Fat Joe case.
Blackburn’s Legal Background
Blackburn represents Terrance “T.A.” Dixon, who sued Fat Joe for millions, claiming he contributed to writing some of Joe’s music. Following that case, Dixon and Blackburn filed an additional lawsuit accusing Joe of engaging in sexual relations with minors.
Fat Joe’s attorney, Joe Tacopina, dismissed the allegations, calling them “lies intended to damage [Joe’s] reputation and force a settlement through public pressure.”
Arrest and Booking
Blackburn was originally arrested in June, approximately six weeks after the May incident allegedly occurred. He was booked on assault charges, but the legal proceedings have remained relatively low-profile until the indictment was officially filed.
What’s Next
The indictment is currently sealed, so details about formal charges or court dates are not yet public. Blackburn will face an arraignment, where the indictment will become a matter of public record.
This latest development adds yet another twist to the already contentious Fat Joe litigation saga, which has been drawing attention in both music and legal circles.
