WEST VALLEY CITY, Utah — The West Valley City Police Department is working to find a man who they believe attacked a convenience store employee on Sunday.
Felicia Turner works at the Family Dollar on South Redwood Road.
“It’s just a normal Sunday for us, you know, we were just putting out our ad set, doing normal stuff,” said Turner.
She said that all changed just before 10 a.m.
“He came up to my register, he bought some candy with an EBT card, he wanted to get cash back, I told him you couldn’t get cash back on EBT, he insisted that he wanted to try again,” said Turner.
Turner told FOX 13 News on Monday that after reiterating to the man that he couldn’t get cash off the card, he became irate. She says he started to leave the store with a soda in his hand.
“That’s when he threw that soda bottle directly at me and hit my chest,” said Turner. “Next thing I know he’s flying through my door there and kicking me punching me, and luckily there were some other customers there, they helped, you know, get him to leave the store.”
