Two black men — one a former police officer and the other a church pastor — have sued Walmart, saying they were discriminated against at a Texas store and falsely imprisoned after trying to return a defective television.
The plaintiffs, Dennis Stewart, 55, and Terence Richardson, 53, said in the suit that an unnamed white Walmart employee in the Houston suburb of Conroe, Texas, called the cops on them when they tried to return the TV in September.
The suit, which was filed in the US District Court for the Southern District of Texas, says Stewart presented the receipt for the TV, but the employee who was working at the customer service counter insisted they had stolen the TV.
“The police showed up, detained, and handcuffed both Dennis and Terence in front of the store where other store customers looked on as they entered and exited the store,” the suit alleges.
