http://www.hollywood.com/news/detail/article/2429788 Blade: Trinity star Wesley Snipes is suing New York City over an arrest warrant issued against him in an Indiana paternity case. Reuters reports the Manhattan judge took the action on an interstate paternity petition filed in Indiana by a woman who claims Snipes fathered her 3-year-old son. But the actor says the city had no authority to seek his DNA and his suit, filed yesterday in Manhattan federal court, alleges the woman involved had a history of making wild claims against celebrities, including Bill Clinton, Oprah Winfrey and Prince. Snipes' suit also charges that the woman is a mentally ill former crack addict who began having delusions about him after watching the movie Blade. Snipes' lawyer Robert Bernhoft said the actor lived in Orlando, Fla., so New York City had no jurisdiction to file the arrest warrant issued by a New York family court judge and is seeking a court ruling to have it invalidated. The suit also names LaPorte County, Indiana, as a defendant. A lawyer for New York, Emily Sweet, said the lawsuit was being evaluated and could not comment further but a hearing was scheduled for Wednesday. |
