Woman Pushed into Milton Wal-Mart Cooler by Co-Worker

Police arrested a food demonstration employee at the Milton Wal-Mart after she allegedly pushed her co-worker into a cooler over an issue at the food demonstration table.

Blame it on the cutting board - that's what started a physical fight between two co-workers at the Wal-Mart on Windward Parkway, a Roswell woman told Milton Police.

According to a report by Channel 2, which has a video of the altercation, the women were preparing for a food demonstration last Saturday, June 16, when Dorothy Kemp, 63, took a cutting board from Roswell resident Marissa Moody, 56. After repeated attempts to get the board back, Moody told Kemp that she couldn't find any sanitizing spray in the back and took some from Kemp's food prep cart.

As she walked away, Kemp ran up behind Moody, grabbed the spray and pushed Moody into the nearest fruit cooler, reports the Atlanta-Journal Constitution. Lodged in the cooler and unable to get out on her own, another co-worker had to help Moody out.
