Judge Mathis Sued by LA City Worker

Last year TV judge Greg Mathis was accused of pulling a gun on a Los Angeles city worker who was blocking his driveway [click here if you missed that]. 

Now the city worker has filed a lawsuit against Judge Mathis...

From TMZ

Judge Mathis threatened to shoot a city worker all because a dump truck was blocking his driveway ... at least according to a new lawsuit.

In the docs, obtained by TMZ, a man named Ricardo Acosta claims he was on the job with the L.A. Dept. of Water and Power in July 2023, working outside of Mathis' home when he says the TV judge started swearing at him.

Acosta claims Mathis was pulling out of his garage in his car, then got out of the vehicle and started hurling expletives ... yelling at Acosta to "move the f***** truck out of the way."

The city worker claims Mathis was standing behind the dump truck at this point and he says he told Mathis to move from behind the truck for safety reasons ... because he was concerned the truck would roll backward when put into gear because it was parked on an incline.

Acosta claims Mathis told him he "did not give a f*** and to run him over and see what happens to him." He says Mathis then told him he had something for him and ran into the house and returned with a gun.

In the docs, Acosta claims Mathis brandished the firearm and stated, "I will bust a cap ... you wanna f*** with me." He says Mathis then got back in the car and drove off, but not before threatening again to "bust a cap."

Acosta is suing Mathis for assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress ... and he's going after Mathis for damages.
