Process Server Undone by Bing Security's Pick and Roll

They say close only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.

And it certainly doesn't matter when you are trying to serve Mayor Dave Bing with a lawsuit.

Christian Pomroy, the owner of At Your Service Document Delivery, told the City Hall Insider that, after two months of trying to serve Bing a lawsuit from a jilted Bing Group supplier he got close enough today to touch Bing. It happened outside the Coleman A. Young Municipal Center on the Randolph side where city officials park.

"I told him, 'Mayor Bing, I am a big fan,' and then I shook his hand," said Pomroy, who then told Bing his name and asked if he could take the lawsuit.

"No, not at this time," Bing replied, according to Pomroy, before security shooed him away in a nifty moving screen that would have made Bing's Piston teammates proud.

Pomroy has tried multiple times at City Hall and the Bing Group's former offices to serve the lawsuit from Parts Finishing Group in Auburn Hills, which sued July 13 alleging nearly $37,000 in unpaid bills.

"I should have just dropped it on him," Pomroy said of the missed opportunity.

But that may have been unwise. Bing's security officers are sure to have a short fuse after one of their vehicles this week was found up on four blocks minus the tires.
