Tory Lans, real name Dastar Peterson, is suing the California Department of Corrections and a prison officer for $100 million after. Getting stabbed about 16 times by another inmate back in May of 2025, he's serving a 10-year sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion, and now he's claiming the glect and failure to protect him while locked up. The attack happened on May 12, leaving him with wounds to his back, torso, face, and head, plus two collapsed lungs. They airlifted him to a hospital in critical condition, put him on a ventilator, and after recovery, moved him to another facility called California. Men's Colony, Lans argues prison officials knew the attacker, a guy named Santino Casio, doing life for murder, was a max security threat, especially with lenses. Celebrity status making him a target. They say staff violated rules by housing them together and delayed response, showing deliberate indifference.

Megan's lawyer called it justice served when he got sentenced. Lanes filed the suit in federal court last April, pushing for accountability on how prisons handle high risk pairings, and it's got everyone watching. How this high profile case shakes out behind bars.
