Attack Victim Sues Grocery and Security Company
The victim of a June attack in the parking lot of a Jackson Kroger is suing the store and a security company.
Linda Knox, 61, was beaten and robbed in the parking lot of the Kroger on Interstate 55 in northeast Jackson on June 4.
Knox was approached by two men in car. One man got out of the car and demanded her purse, then repeatedly punched her in the face and body.
No one in the parking lot came to Knox's aid during the attack. She has permanently lost sight in one eye as a result.
Her attorney, Robert F. Wilkins, says both the security company and the grocery store should be held accountable for the attack.
"We believe the evidence will show there was a pattern of criminal activity at this Kroger," Wilkins said. "They should have known that they needed to protect their customers."
Knox is seeking over $8 million in compensatory and punitive damages.
