Justice gets served in this video! Nothing is free.
STONECREST, GA — A heated confrontation at a local Target ended in an arrest Friday evening after a shopper allegedly demanded “reparations” in the form of free groceries, before shoving an employee and storming into a restricted staff area.
According to police, the incident began when Keisha Jackson, 36, loaded a shopping cart with an estimated $500 worth of food and household items. At checkout, Jackson allegedly told employees she would not be paying because the store “owed her reparations for her ancestors.”
When staff informed her that the items could not be released without payment, witnesses say Jackson became increasingly aggressive. One cashier reported being shoved by Jackson after refusing to hand over the merchandise.
The situation escalated further when Jackson allegedly forced her way into the manager’s office, shouting that the store was denying her “what was rightfully hers.” Police reports state that the store manager, fearing for his safety, punched Jackson once in the face after she advanced toward him in the confined space.
Security quickly intervened, and responding officers placed Jackson under arrest. She is facing charges of simple battery, trespassing, and disorderly conduct. Target has also issued a permanent trespass order, barring her from all company locations.
In a statement, a Target spokesperson said: “We take the safety of our team members and guests seriously. We are cooperating fully with law enforcement regarding this incident.”
No employees required medical treatment, though several reported being shaken by the confrontation. The store reopened for normal operations within an hour.
Jackson remains in custody at the DeKalb County Jail awaiting her first court appearance.
