WalMart management in Spencer claims a woman had her dog in a shopping
basket while shopping last July. Store manager Zach Shields confronted her
about having the dog in the store, according to a lawsuit filed by Carol Copen
in Kanawha County. The suit contends she did not have the dog in her
basket.
The personal injury suit was filed with Copen saying the manager threatened
physical harm and called the Spencer Police Department to have her
"forcibly removed" from the store.
Copen, according to the suit, contends she was injured when she was
removed from the establishment, with some of her injuries becoming
permanent and some requiring medical treatment.
She is accusing the manager of false imprisonment, assault, outrageous
conduct, negligent training and retention.
The mysterious dog was unavailable for comment.
