Crimewire

Dave Cossetta—owner of the Cossetta's Italian emporium in St. Paul—was punched on Friday morning in a conflict about the Cossetta's parking lot. Cossetta confronted a man about parking in the restaurant's lot without paying, and the man sucker punched Cossetta in response. The man was booked on suspicion of fifth-degree assault, but had not been charged with a crime as of early this afternoon. [CityPages]
