Omaha Boy Scouts Say Man Didn’t Pay for $28,000 in Popcorn

boy-scoutsOMAHA, Neb. (AP) — The Boy Scouts of America’s Omaha-based Mid-America Council has sued a Scout leader over a $28,000 popcorn order the organization says he did not pay for.

The lawsuit filed in Douglas County District Court alleges Ernest Citta III of Omaha received a delivery of $28,125 worth of popcorn products. The lawsuit says months passed without payment.

On April 17, six months after the delivery, the council sent a letter to Citta demanding payment. The council said Citta indicated the customer who ordered the popcorn canceled their order, but that he declined to say who the customer was.

The council has asked a judge to declare that Citta owes the money by default.

No attorney for Citta was listed in online court records. Attempts by The Associated Press to reach him were not successful.
