A Family Dollar employee in West Valley City was attacked by a man after he was denied cash back from his EBT card.
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. She said that all changed just before 10 a.m. The man bought some candy with an EBT card and wanted to get cash back, but Turner told him he couldn't. He became irate and threw a soda bottle at her, hitting her chest. He then entered the store and kicked and punched her.
Luckily, some other customers helped get him to leave. Turner said they called 911 and police arrived at the store within minutes. While she didn't go to the hospital on Sunday, she got checked out by a doctor on Monday and found out that the bottle fractured her sternum. On Monday, West Valley City police told FOX 13 News that the incident is under investigation. They said they believe the suspect is possibly transient. Police went on to say they believe they have identified the man, but they have not located him at this time
