An off-duty MTSU Police officer says he was injured Wednesday trying to stop a shoplifter.
Sergeant Matt Foster knows he is lucky to be alive after he was dragged several feet by a car. 
The MTSU Police officer left work Wednesday afternoon and went shopping at the Wal-Mart Supercenter on South Rutherford Boulevard in Murfreesboro.  He was still wearing his uniform. 
...
Since Foster was off duty, his employer cannot pick up his medical costs.  And Wal-Mart told him it will not pay those costs either.  So, for now, Foster is paying for anything not covered by his insurance.   
He hopes to return to work in a couple weeks but it could take much longer.

Nice appreciative company that Wal Mart.... Just one more reason I am glad I don't give them ANY patronage. Big impersonal retailers that price cut to push out any small business competition are a part of many problems with this company. In this case, you get what you pay for... Nothing.

[ Hear hear. Fuck Wal Mart. -k]
