WAHLER SUED BY TOW-TRUCK DRIVER HE ASSAULTED

American reality TV star JASON WAHLER is being sued by a tow-truck driver he allegedly called 'n**ger', 'motherf**cker', 'fag' and 'fatass' during an assault in 2006.

In legal papers filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court on Friday (17Aug07), tow-truck driver Jonathan Wallace claims Wahler started "thrusting his chest... while unleashing a verbal barrage of racial statements and swearing profusely" during the September 2006 incident.

Wallace, who is seeking $200,000 (GBP100,000) in damages, also alleges Wahler punched him in his left eye and repeatedly punched another tow-truck driver in the face.

In March (07), the 20-year-old Laguna Beach star admitted battery and was sentenced to 60 days in prison. He was also ordered to attend Alcoholics Anonymous meetings and anger management classes.

The incident was the first in a string of alcohol-related arrests for Wahler, who entered rehab in May (07). That same month, he was charged with assault, criminal trespass and underage drinking in relation to an April (07) incident when he allegedly hurled racial and homophobic abuse at police while being arrested for punching a hotel security guard.

Prosecutors claim that incident violated his probation for the September 2006 tow-truck driver assault.
