AND I ALWAYS THOUGHT THAT KROGERS WAS A PRETTY MELLO EMPLOYER

Jarcoby Hopson Sr.


T'was the day before Christmas and all thru the warehouse things were very mellow, except when and where they were not.

Jarcoby Hopson Sr., 35, father of five and a local football coach, got into some sort of disagreement with Anderson Todd, a coworker at a Krogers warehouse in Tennessee.  It got loud and then vulgar very quickly.  Hopson got off his forklift and invited Todd to step outside where there were no security cameras.  Todd declined, and Hopson pulled Todd's skull cap down over his eyes.  (That is assault and battery in most places.)  Todd then pulled out a shank and stabbed Hopson several times.  Todd went to the break room and waiting for the local constabulary to show up.

Todd is now facing charges of second degree murder.  Hopson suffered four stab wounds and died at the scene.

Holiday stress really gets to some people.
