Walmart fight leads to jail for food sample worker

Jun 22, 2012, 12:40 PM

MILTON, Ga. (AP) – A worker handing out food samples at a Georgia Walmart was taken into custody after police say she pushed a co-worker handing out taste tests into a fruit cooler.

Police say 56-year-old Marissa Moody’s feet were up in the air and she could not get out of the cooler Saturday afternoon at the crowded Walmart in Milton, north of Atlanta. A third worker helped her out of the cooler.

WSB-TV (

Police say 63-year-old Dorothy R. Kemp was charged with simple battery. Jail records did not indicate whether she has an attorney.

Police say the dispute was over equipment used by the workers, including a cutting board and a bottle of disinfecting spray.
