Nutria Attack in Abbeville Walmart (allegedly)

A Walmart shopper in Abbeville has brought a lawsuit against the retailer claiming that she was attacked by a Nutria while shopping in the store. She claims that the nutria darted out from behind the Coke display and frightened her, so to protect herself, she pulled her heavy cart towards herself and it "rammed" over her foot breaking several bones.

According to court documents, this is not the first time the store employees have heard about the nutria....they supposedly even have a name for him: Norman. For the full story, click here.
