Kedar William Massenburg, former CEO of Motown Records, was arrested last Wednesday, for robbery and assault after allegedly smashing a New Jersey police office in the head with a bottle and snatching his badge at B.B. King's nightclub in New York City.
This all went down when Officer Sean Bradforth - who was off-duty at the time - asked Joe for an autograph.
"I will fucking kill you!" Kedar, who is responsible for launching Erykah Badu's career, screamed after breaking a bottle over the officer's head and holding a shard of glass to his throat.
When he flashed his badge, Kedar grabbed it and fled, police said.
The officer was taken to the hospital where he received several stitches.
One of Kedar's friends said Officer Bradforth barged into Joe's dressing room to get his autograph.
When Kedar told him he'd have to wait for Joe to get changed, "the guy went ballistic," the source said. Pushes were exchanged, and "that was the extent of it."
Asbury Park Police Inspector Thomas McDonald said Bradforth is currently on suspension for "unrelated personnel issues."
Kedar's lawyer, Stacey Richman, called the allegations "patently ridiculous."
