      All Charges Dropped Against Circuit City Receipt Refuser

      By Ben Popken, 8:27 AM on Fri Sep 21 2007, 6,056 views

      righimike.jpgLegal charges have been dropped against Michael Righi (pictured), the guy arrested after refusing to show his receipt to Circuit City, and his driver's license to a police officer, in exchange for Righi's pledge to not sue the city. On his blog, Righi writes that he was willing to fight the city to the end without forfeiting any rights whatsoever, but he wanted to spare his family, who would have been principal witnesses, from a protracted legal battle.
