ASPEN, Colo. -
An Aspen grocery store has accused actor Don Johnson of leaving an
unpaid bill of $5,470, according to court records.
Other Aspen businesses also are suing
the “Miami Vice” and “Nash Bridges” star in Pitkin County Court for
outstanding bills. A list of creditors in a bankruptcy petition
include $7,345 from Aspen Valley Hospital, $1,228 from Isberian Rug
Co., $1,688 from Holy Cross Energy and $2,787 from Garfield & Hecht
law firm.
A spokesman for
the actor could not be reached for comment.
Johnson, 54,
filed for bankruptcy protection last month to secure his Woody Creek
ranch and stave off a lender’s attempt to auction his home.
The lender, Los
Angeles-based City National Bank, filed court papers in Pitkin
County District Court in March against Johnson. That lawsuit asks a
judge to auction Johnson’s home to recoup $930,000 he owes the bank,
according to court papers.
