A local attorney and the North Greenbush police are facing a lawsuit from a man who served legal papers.
Robert Wells said he was attacked and robbed by Attorney John Aretakis earlier this month when he tried to serve a restraining order from the Holy Cross Church.
Mr. Aretakis and SNAP, an anti-clergy sex abuse group, have been picketing outside of Holy Cross for several months. North Greenbush police arrested Aretakis and charged him with petty larceny and harassment, but Mr. Wells' attorney believes Aretakis got off easy because of his status.
