A Florida woman was taken into custody weeks after the authorities investigated an altercation at a Walmart that allegedly involved an elderly shopper being pushed and struck while standing in line.
According to an arrest affidavit, the incident occurred on January 23 at a store located in Sunrise. Investigators later reviewed surveillance footage, which reportedly supported the account given by the 79-year-old woman involved in the confrontation.
The situation allegedly began as a dispute inside the customer service line. Witnesses, including a store security guard, told the authorities that the suspect became upset and accused the older woman of hitting her shopping cart while a baby was inside. The older woman reportedly denied ever making contact with the cart.
