UPPER DARBY – The pizza shop owner facing charges for allegedly planting mice in two of his competitors' shops was arraigned on multiple misdemeanor charges Tuesday morning.

Nickolas Galiatsatos – owner of Nina's Bella Pizzeria at 8445 West Chester Pike in Upper Darby – appeared before Magisterial District Judge Michael G. Cullen just before 9 a.m. wearing jeans, socks but no shoes, and a black t-shirt with the phrase "I'm just one big (symbols for an expletive) ray of sunshine."

Galiatsatos, 47, of the 1000 block of Conestoga Road, Bryn Mawr, was released on $10,000 unsecured bail.

He declined to comment as he left the courthouse.

Cullen also ordered him to undergo a psychological evaluation within 10 days and surrender any weapons.

According to police, Galiatsatos was carrying several bullets in his pocket when he was arrested Monday afternoon, and he informed police he had a .357 handgun at his shop, which has been surrendered to police.

Galiatsatos is charged with cruelty to animals, criminal mischief, harassment and disorderly conduct stemming from incidents at two competing pizza shops.

He allegedly put a bag of live mice in a pizzeria on the 8900 block of West Chester Pike, and then allegedly did the same at another nearby pizzeria on the 9000 block West Chester Pike, police said.
