About the Book

A true story of a former Wal-Mart truck driver who was falsely accused of shoplifting a pouch of chewing tobacco and fired from his job weeks later. The motive for Wal-Mart's actions were the result of a comment made to a brash Loss-Prevention supervisor after he made a bad impression with me by suggesting I stole from Wal-Mart. Then he denied making such allegations and/or my response to him afterwards.

It took over four years to get Wal-Mart to disclose the name of a very important witness for me. It took five years and a trial to expose Wal-Mart's bad decisions. It took five years and a trial to obtain the original investigative report which could have exonerated me of any shoplifting allegation. This report was discovered in the possession of the brash Loss-Prevention supervisor.

Wal-Mart knew of, but failed to disclose, this report during discovery, an abuse of the system which Wal-Mart is fined and sanctioned over and over.

This book outlines my life, immediately prior to becoming a Wal-Mart employee, the terrible employee treatment and immoral business practices of Wal-Mart, a jury verdict of 8.5 million dollars against Wal-Mart for its bad decisions and business practices, and what occurs after the verdict.

About the Author

I am a former state trooper, certified as an expert in accident reconstruction. This intense motor vehicle investigation and giving expert testimony in State and Federal Courts as to liability regarding such accidents. Wal-Mart was attracted to such expertise and broke the rules in hiring me to work for them. Because of my good nature and caring for others, Wal-Mart took issue when I stood up in defence of others. It was too apparent after 7.5 years that I stepped on the "big boys'" toes and they wanted me out of the system. During the 7.5 years and up until the shoplifting allegation, I had an impeccable record with this corporate giant.

Courage and pride motivated this lawsuit. I was always taught and reminded that right was right and wrong was wrong, no matter what the circumstances. I am confident that I have successfully passed this belief on to my children.
