A Texas man is suing Walmart for the second time in three years, seeking $100 million in damages or unlimited free shopping at all stores forever.
Roderick Jackson of Waskom, Texas, filed two handwritten complaints claiming he is suing Walmart for an incident that occurred at a store in Omaha, Nebraska, in March 2021.
Mr. Jackson's original complaint was filed in 2021 and alleges the exact same scenario and events as the most recent complaint.
In a complaint Walmart shared with Fox News Digital, Jackson said he was “sewing.” [sic] For civil rights violations based on race/color. ”
Both complaints do not elaborate on why Jackson is suing Walmart, but allege that it involves “false shoplifting charges.”
In addition to the money and purchases, Jackson also wants Walmart to pay all legal fees associated with the case.
“We do not tolerate discrimination of any kind. Mr. Jackson's claims are nearly identical to the dismissed lawsuit he filed against the company in 2021,” a Walmart spokesperson told Fox News Digital. However, the company said it intends to defend the company against the charges once they are properly addressed and will promptly ask the court to dismiss the baseless allegations.
In a 2021 complaint, Jackson sued Walmart over the exact same incident, alleging that he was racially profiled and falsely accused, which led to his arrest.
The suit says Jackson was suffering from “emotional stress and pain from being handcuffed.”
Jackson initially asked for $100 million and a “huge credit for future purchases,” but later changed her complaint to seek $175 million in damages.
The retailer said his lawsuit was dismissed that year because he failed to provide adequate service to Walmart and his claims were without merit.
