In December 2025, I visited an Ollie's store to purchase household items. I spent just under $100,…read morewhich is a significant purchase for that retailer. After completing my purchase and exiting the store, I was confronted outside by two police officers who were standing with a female Ollie's employee. As I walked past, the employee pointed at me and stated, "That is him," and accused me of stealing merchandise. One of the items mentioned was a carbon monoxide detector. I was told that I had walked down an aisle where an empty package for that item was later found. During this interaction, I was repeatedly asked about a Black male they claimed was my partner, despite the fact that no one was with me. The police searched my person and my bags and found no stolen items. I was then released without any charges or further action. While sitting in my vehicle afterward, I observed another incident where two college-aged individuals exited the store: an African American male and a Caucasian female. Police searched the male and found nothing; the female was not searched. I believe I was wrongly accused and subjected to unequal and biased treatment. This experience was humiliating and distressing, and I believe Ollie's bears responsibility for the actions of its employee that led to this incident.
