Pete Wentz was slapped with a lawsuit earlier this week over the alleged beating of a fan following a Fall Out Boy show in Chicago on July 12 2007.
Chicago resident Andy Kallas alleges the bassist and his ten members of his entourage attacked him at Schuba's Tavern following a Fall Out Boy show "without authorization or provocation". The 11 men "struck, kicked and beat" Kallas for several minutes causing "serious injuries to his head, mouth and face," the suit alleges.
Newspaper reports at the time said that a punch-up broke out after a fan taunted Wentz about dating pop strumpet Ashlee Simpson, although Kallas claims that it wasn't him and he did nothing to provoke Wentzy.
The lawsuit accuses Wentz and his entourage of one count of assault and battery and one count of false imprisonment for refusing to allow the plaintiff to leave while they kicked his ass. Kallas also claims Wentz is negligent for failing to "properly instruct and train his security personnel".
Kallas also claims that he's suffered "emotional injury and anxiety" since the incident and would like Wentzy to cough-up $200,000 in damages.
