Kroger to appeal $1.4 million suit ruling in chip theft case
Leon Baker, fired as a Frito Lay delivery man, sues Kroger for malicious prosecution after a jury awarded $600,000 in compensatory and $800,000 in punitive damages. A U.S. district judge upheld the verdict. Baker says he grabbed two damaged bags to replace them, not steal.
