Suit against ex-Trail Blazer dropped
Harassment - Robert Bacote claimed Zach Randolph retaliated for an abused dogs case Tuesday, June 10, 2008AIMEE GREEN The Oregonian Staff
A $300,000 lawsuit claiming former Trail Blazer Zach Randolph battered and harassed a man because he thought the man "snitched" to police on former teammate Qyntel Woods has been dropped.

Attorneys for both sides said Monday that the suit would be dismissed, but declined to comment further. That left open the question of whether the case had been settled for a secret sum of money or whether it fell apart because of lack of evidence.

Woods was ordered by a judge last July to pay Robert Bacote $80,000 after Woods failed to respond to the suit, said Bacote's attorney, Sean Hartfield. He said Woods has yet to pay.

Bacote filed suit against Woods and Randolph in October 2006, claiming that the pair wrongly suspected him of telling police two years earlier that Woods abused animals. That same month, one of Woods' pit bulls had been found in a Portland alley with cuts, bruises and scarring.

Police suspected illegal dog-fighting, and discovered bloody paw prints and smears in Woods' Lake Oswego home. Woods was never charged with that crime, but pleaded guilty to first-degree animal abuse and was sentenced to one year of probation and 80 hours of community service.

Bacote claimed he lived in fear over the next two years as Woods, Randolph and a circle of their followers harassed him by phone and in person.

The suit claimed that Bacote, a 34-year-old rapper who goes by the name "Mackin' Rob," was surrounded by Woods, Randolph and their friends after performing at the Roseland Theater in mid-October 2004. Woods, now 27, confronted Bacote by saying "Why you rat on me, dude?" and punching him in the chest with both fists. The suit claimed Randolph, now 26, added "You a snitch, man," pushed Bacote from behind and egged on Woods, who was holding Bacote's arm as another man choked him.

The suit also alleged that Randolph struck Bacote in the chest at a nightclub.

Bacote's complaint claims that his life was threatened twice. In one instance, several men he believed to be friends of the players yelled from a luxury car, "Snitches die where we come from, punk."

The suit had been scheduled to go to trial Monday in Multnomah County Circuit Court.
