Deria Francis Stukes, a 40-year-old minister from South Carolina, has filed a federal civil lawsuit against Circle K and a store clerk she says physically assaulted her during a stop for gas in Bowling Green, Ohio, an attack she alleges caused her to miscarry.

According to the personal injury lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Ohio on Dec. 8 and obtained by Atlanta Black Star, Deria was eight weeks pregnant when the incident occurred on May 23. She had entered the Circle K store with her two children, ages 8 and 13, while her husband, Dathan Stukes—also a pastor—remained outside pumping gas. The family was traveling from South Carolina to Detroit for a church conference.

After paying for the fuel, Stukes realized she had forgotten to enter her Circle K rewards number. She asked the clerk, identified as Shannon Walsh, to void the transaction so she could reprocess it and receive the fuel discount. Walsh refused, telling Stukes it could take several days for the funds to be returned to her bank account, the complaint states. Stukes reiterated that she did not mind waiting.

Surveillance video provided by the plaintiffs’ attorney, Charles Boyk, captures the exchange as it escalates.

“You’re being nasty,” Deria can be heard telling Walsh as their verbal argument intensifies. “Stop being nasty.”
