A Wichita, Kansas, woman says she was fired from Walmart after stopping a thief from stealing a $600 computer. Heather Ravenstein worked for Walmart for two years, most recently in customer service. Ravenstein said she was kicked and punched Friday night by a man who was trying to carry a computer out of the store in Wichita’s West Kellogg neighborhood. The man eventually gave up the computer and left, Ravenstein said. The next day she was fired for violating a Walmart policy that prohibits anyone but a manager or someone in asset protection from stopping a theft. Ravenstein said she didn’t know about the policy. A Walmart spokeswoman said Ravenstein put her safety and perhaps the safety of customers at risk by confronting the thief.
