OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — An Omaha jury has ordered a discount store to pay a man convicted of shoplifting from it $750,000 for injuries he received from a store employee.

A Douglas County jury on Friday found in favor of 59-year-old Richard “Dave” Moore. Moore sued ShopKo after suffering a brain injury when he was thrown to the ground by a ShopKo loss-prevention officer in November 2008.

Moore was confronted by two security workers after they say he pilfered two pairs of personal grooming scissors. One of the workers threw Moore to the ground when Moore resisted going back into the store, saying he feared Moore would use a pair of the scissors to stab him.

Moore pleaded no contest to shoplifting and was fined $50.
