COP SUED: A co-owner of an Edmonton limousine company has filed a $1.1-million lawsuit against a city cop, the chief of police, Northlands, the Edmonton Oilers and others after alleging he was maliciously arrested and assaulted.
According to a Feb. 27 statement of claim, James Allan Korchinski, of Blue Sky Limousines, alleges Const. Sam Najmeddine developed an animosity toward him and used his police powers against him for an improper purpose.
Korchinski claims he was providing transportation for a private party at Lux Steakhouse on Feb. 27, 2007, and was lawfully in the premises when Najmeddine told him to leave and threatened him with arrest for trespassing.
