VALLEJO, Calif. (AP) A Vallejo man who claimed he was punched and hit with pepper spray by supermarket security personnel has been awarded more than $54,000 in damages.
A jury ruled that 62-year-old Darrell Archer should receive $50,135 from the owner of Vallejo Food 4 Less, store managers Tomas Martinez and Dwight Woodard and former security officer Rudolpho Granados.
The jury also decided last week that Granados was liable for nearly $5,000 in punitive damages.
Archer said he was shopping with his son at the supermarket on Christmas Eve 2005 when Granados approached his son about the shoplifting of gloves.
Archer said he was attacked after intervening. No charges were filed against Archer or his son.
Sacramento attorney David Worthington, who represented all the defendants, did not return a call for comment.
