YOU CAN'T MAKE THIS UP!

Richard E. Brown of Kershaw County, South Carolina, filed a lawsuit against Buc-ee's, the convenience store chain, WBTW-TV reported.

Brown was walking on a sidewalk at a store in Florence County, South Carolina, in 2022 when he tripped over a rope that was holding down the large inflatable beaver mascot, which caused him several injuries, including to his right shoulder.

The lawsuit claims that Buc-ee's was "aware of the dangerous condition of the rope that was holding the inflatable beaver in place."

Brown is suing for negligence and seeking unspecified financial damages. Buc-ee's has not responded. [WBTW, 8/11/2024]
