Carla Jaworski is a 59-year old grandmother who has worked for 12 years at a Kmart store in Indiana.
Recently, Ms. Jaworski was taken into police custody, reports the Munster Times, because her employer charged her with violating its employee discount program by sharing it with family and friends.
Ms. Jaworski was stunned. "I had never stolen as much as a candy bar from that store," she said.
Then she was arrested.
"It was so humiliating," she said.
After investigating the case, the district attorney's office for Porter County chose not to charge Ms. Jaworski.
She is now in the process of developing a civil suit against the company.
