Roderick Jackson, a resident of Waskom, Texas, has filed a second lawsuit against Walmart for $100 million in compensation or unlimited free shopping at any Walmart store for the rest of his life, per the NY Post.
This recent complaint follows Jackson’s initial lawsuit, filed in 2021, which involved the same incident and circumstances as his current claim against the retail giant. The incident in question occurred at a Walmart store in Omaha, Nebraska, in March 2021. Jackson’s complaint states that he is suing Walmart due to
“false pretense of shoplifting.”
He also states he is
“sewing [sic] for Civil Rights violations based on race/color.”
Neither of the complaints went into further detail.
On top of the cash and shopping spree, Jackson is also demanding that Walmart foot the bill for all the legal fees tied to the lawsuit.
A Walmart spokesperson told Fox News Digital,
“We do not tolerate discrimination of any kind. Mr. Jackson’s allegations are almost identical to a lawsuit he filed against our company in 2021 that was dismissed. We intend to defend the company against the allegations once we have been properly served and will quickly ask the court to dismiss any claim that are without merit,”
In the 2021 lawsuit, Jackson filed a complaint against Walmart, accusing them of
“racial profiling and wrongful accusation”
that resulted in his arrest. According to the complaint, Jackson suffered
“emotional stress and pain from the handcuffs.”
Initially, Jackson asked for a whopping $100 million and
“a significant credit for future shopping,”
but later revised the complaint to seek $175 million in damages. However, the case was dismissed that year as Walmart argued that Jackson had not properly served them and his claims were baseless.
