macoman Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 NEWPORT, Del. ? The first time Nigel Sykes tried to get money from the Seasons Pizza restaurant, he did it with a gun, forcing his way into the business through the back door. This time, Sykes is trying to get money from the pizzeria by suing the employees who tackled him and wrestled his gun away during the robbery. Sykes alleges assault in a federal civil complaint claiming the rough treatment was "unnecessary" and that as a result of the injuries he suffered during his attempted hold-up, he is due over $260,000. Sykes also claims in his suit, filed without an attorney, that after employees subdued him, two Newport police officers improperly used stun guns on him and denied him access to medical attention. ---- http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/07/22/man-sues-pizzeria-rough-treatment-during-robbery/12982441/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zidane Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I sincerely hope the judge shows him no sympathy. He has some brass for suing them. Nogib 1 Share Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
