(Providence, RI) -- A Rhode Island District Court judge is ordering Republican candidate for governor Giovanni Feroce to appear in court. The former CEO for Alex and Ani, as well as Benrus, owes eight-thousand-dollars to Broder Brothers, a clothing supplier, and failed to show up for a court hearing for the unpaid judgment, according to court records. Feroce's attorney says he was out of state on business on Tuesday and has every intention of fulfilling the wishes of the court.
