A Texas man is suing Walmart for the second time in three years and is demanding $100 million in damages or free unlimited shopping at any of its stores for life.
Roderick Jackson, of Waskom, Texas, filed two handwritten complaints alleging he is suing Walmart over an incident that occurred at a store in Omaha, Nebraska, in March 2021.
Jackson’s first complaint was filed in 2021, alleging the same scenario and incident as his recent complaint.
In her complaint, which Walmart shared with Fox News Digital, Jackson stated she was “stitching [sic] for violations of Civil Rights based on race/color.”
Neither complaint goes into detail about why Jackson is suing Walmart but claims it involves “falsely pretending to shoplift.”

In addition to the money and shopping expenses, Jackson is also asking Walmart to pay all court fees related to the lawsuit.
“We do not tolerate any form of discrimination. Mr. Jackson’s allegations are very similar to the lawsuit he filed against our company in 2021 that was dismissed. We intend to defend the company against the allegations as soon as we are properly served and will promptly ask the court to dismiss any meritless claims,” a Walmart spokesperson told Fox News Digital.
The complaint Roderick Jackson filed does not detail why he is suing Walmart, though the Texas man’s website involves “falsely pretending to shoplift.”
In a 2021 complaint, Jackson sued Walmart over the same alleged incident, alleging that he was racially profiled and falsely accused of the crime that led to his arrest.
According to the complaint, Jackson suffered “emotional stress and pain as a result of the handcuffs.”
Jackson initially asked for $100 million and “a large credit for future purchases,” but later changed the complaint to seek $175 million in damages.
Roderick Jackson’s first complaint was filed in 2021, alleging the same scenario and incident as his recent complaint.
The case was dismissed that year because he failed to serve Walmart and his claims lacked merit, according to the grocery company.
