The suit claims his civil rights were violated while shopping at a Walmart in Nebraska.
BENTONVILLE, Ark. — A Texas man is suing Walmart for $100 million after he claims his civil rights were violated, according to two complaints filed in federal court.
The handwritten complaints were mailed to the United States District Attorney's Office for the Western District of Arkansas (WDAR) located in Fayetteville.
Roderick Jackson, the plaintiff, filed the suits without an attorney. They were filed into court on Jan. 8.
In one of the complaints, Jackson claims that he is suing for "false pretense of shoplifting" that occurred in March 2021 at a Walmart store in Omaha, Nebraska.
Jackson said in a separate complaint filed the same day that he suffered "civil rights violations based on race/color" at the Nebraska Walmart.
Both of Jackson's suits request relief up to $100 million or "unlimited free lifetime shopping at any Walmart," additionally asking that any court fees be paid by the defendant on the plaintiff's behalf.
Walmart gave 5NEWS the following statement:
"We do not tolerate discrimination of any kind. We are aware of Mr. Jackson’s complaint and intend to defend the company against the allegations once we have been served."
5NEWS called the plaintiff to request a comment; that call was not returned.
