Lawsuit Suggests Crime Does Pay Print
Tuesday, November 10 2009

A Michigan man who robbed a liquor store is suing the owner and three employees, seeking $125,000 in damages.

Scott T. Zielinski robbed Nick’s Party Stop at knife point and threatened to kill its employees.  As Zielinski fled the store with cigarettes, liquor and $873 in cash, the employees of the party store allegedly chased, shot twice and assaulted him.

Now Circuit Judge David Viviano has ruled that Zielinski’s case against the store, owner and employees can move forward, provided Zielinski can post a $10,000 bond to cover defendants’ attorney’s fees if he loses the case.

Zielinski is serving an 8-year prison sentence after being convicted of unarmed robbery for the November 2007 heist.
