slacker Posted June 12, 2006 Share Posted June 12, 2006 Irregular News for 06.12.06 Rodchester, NY -- A man is suing an auto-parts store for assault and battery after he attempted to hold up the business and employees responded by beating him with a metal pipe. Dana Buckman, 46, walked into an auto shop brandishing a semiautomatic pistol July 5, 2005, only to have it turned on him by employees Eli Crespo and Jerry Vega, police said. The men beat Buckman with a metal pipe and held him with his own gun. Buckman escaped, only to be arrested a week later. He pleaded guilty to first-degree robbery and was sentenced to 18 years in prison as a repeat violent felon. Now Buckman has claimed the men chased him out of the store and continued to beat him. He is suing the auto shop and the two men for the injuries he suffered and for intentionally inflicted emotional distress. Crespo and Vega could not be reached for comment. source Quote Link to comment
AR Husker Fan Posted June 13, 2006 Share Posted June 13, 2006 I should imagine that the employees will have no problem finding an attoney to defend them pro bono... Quote Link to comment
