Man sues Walmart for $100 million or âunlimited free lifetime shoppingâ over civil rights violations
A Texas man is suing Walmart over claims of “false pretense of shoplifting,” violations of civil rights based “based on race/color. What’s he seeking? $100 million in damages or “unlimited free lifetime shopping” at any Walmart location.
NBC News reported Roderick Jackson of Waskom, Texas filed two handwritten complaints Monday with the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Arkansas, the area that includes Walmart’s corporate headquarters in Bentonville, Arkansas.
The complaints did not go into detail on the exact reason for the suits other than referencing an incident that occurred in March 2021 in Omaha, Nebraska.
A spokesperson for Walmart told NBC News it does “not tolerate discrimination of any kind.”
Jackson reportedly sued Walmart for the same allegations in 2021 but the case was quickly dismissed.
