TMZ -- Dave East is off the hook for misdemeanor battery stemming from his Vegas three-way gone wrong ... and it's all because he told the judge he sustained a concussion during the fight.
Dave's attorney, Stacey Richman, tells TMZ ... she submitted medical documentation showing Dave suffered a concussion during the altercation, and as a result, the criminal case against the rapper was dropped. Richman says that injury shows Dave did not instigate the incident, and "he attempted to responsibly quell the situation."
Court records confirm the criminal case has been dismissed.
We broke the story ... Dave was cited for misdemeanor battery in Vegas last month after cops said bottles and punches were thrown in the middle of his 3-way sexual encounter at the Delano hotel.
As we reported ... Dave told cops one of the ladies started hurling champagne bottles at him from across the room, and he claimed two made contact. Richman said Dave went for a CAT scan after the incident ... and apparently the results showed he sustained a concussion.
No word if Dave is planning to leave his three-way days behind him, but he does tell TMZ, "I always treat women with nothing but respect." He also says he is glad he can move forward from this incident.

Louisville Courier Journal -- Police in Paducah, Kentucky, arrested a man Tuesday who robbed a hotel but was scared away when the clerk grabbed his gun and pointed it at him.
The Paducah Police Department posted a video to its Facebook page that captures the man robbing the Country Inn and Suites on McBride Lane on Monday night.
The suspect was wearing a dark long-sleeved shirt, jeans, white shoes and a white shirt around his face along with a University of Alabama "sock hat" on his head, police said.
The surveillance footage from the hotel captured the man brandishing a gun and having the clerk throw money onto the hotel's front desk.
Before she takes out the money, the robber is seen trying to channel some of that University of Alabama athleticism and climb over and behind the desk.
But the clerk has none of that and pushes him back over to the other side.
She then throws the money out onto the desk, and the suspect places his gun down on the countertop to put the money into a plastic bag.
That's when the clerk grabs the handgun and points it at the robber, who quickly scrambles out the front door of the hotel.
But he soon comes back inside and tries to get over the desk in an apparent attempt to get the gun from the clerk. But she again stands her ground and points the gun at him, causing him to turn and run back outside.
According to Paducah police, the robber fled in a car, with the white shirt and Alabama hat later found near the hotel.
On Tuesday, Paducah police announced that Cory T. Phillips, 26, of West Paducah, was arrested after a traffic stop and charged with first-degree robbery and receiving stolen property in connection with the hotel incident.
Phillips was pulled over Tuesday by a McCracken County Sheriff's Office deputy who saw Phillips was not wearing a seat belt, according to police.
The deputy found a stolen laptop in Phillips' car and later determined the gun used in the hotel robbery had also been stolen, according to police.
Phillips was booked into the McCracken County Regional Jail, according to police.
