Disabled War Vet Gets Rude Treatment
(CN) - A San Antonio businessman kicked a disabled war veteran and his service dog out of a mattress store, and employees told the vet to "Go occupy Wall Street," the man claims in court.
Adan Gallegos sued Billy Bob's Beds in San Antonio Federal Court.
Gallegos claims the store president, William Gholson, kicked him and his service dog Bootz out of the San Antonio store though Bootz was clearly identified as a service animal.
Gholson is not named as an individual defendant.
"Gholson persisted in spite of Bootz wearing an identifying service-dog vest and Mr. Gallegos verbally informing Gohlson that Bootz is a service animal," the complaint states.
"Store employees continued the harassment and ridicule after Mr. Gallegos left the building."
Gallegos claims that Gholson called the police on him, and that after he left the store, employees followed him and told him to remove his Wounded Warrior clothing and "go occupy Wall Street."
