A lawsuit has been filed against a Walmart security guard by a man who claims to have been assaulted.
John Schirra, of Butler, has brought a suit in federal court against Constable Thomas Marak, Walmart, and Point Security Company for violation of the civil right against false imprisonment and for infliction of physical and emotional distress.
According to Schirra’s attorney Al Lindsay, Schirra visited the Butler Walmart on April 9th where he was physically obstructed from entering the store by Marak who was providing security for Walmart as an employee of Point Security Company.
Schirra alleges that Marak demanded that he walk 40 yards away to use another entrance. When Schirra refused, he claims that Marak attacked him repeatedly using pepper spray and tried to place him under arrest. Butler Township Police responded and obtained surveillance video which is now in the hands of the Butler County DA.
Schirra’s complaint says following the incident he has suffered from nightmares, panic attacks, and severe back pain. When asked for comment, Marak’s attorney said that a copy of the complaint had not yet been served so they had not had a chance to review it yet.
