More details to this question:
Have email statements from 2 weeks before incident saying there were people who were going to set me up. Associates heard these statements and reported it. Company was notified and did nothing to help or intercept issue. Have statement from a loss prevention Supervisor who was at a meeting after the supposed incident - where issue was being discussed and had gone from a supposed slap on the arm - to "cold cocking in face" numerous store personnel from different stores were there. LP Supervisor told them to stop because it wasn't true. This happened during the investigation (still ongoing) and was not supposed to be common knowledge. Accusations are false. GM will lose job after 13 years - will lose pension. Character has been defamed - reputation is being slandered and libeled ( 2 false written statements)

You will need to unfortunately bear the expense of hiring a lawyer to file such a lawsuit as they are very high risk and often expensive lawsuits to begin with and doubly so when non-lawyers think they can prosecute such cases pro-se. We actually handle such cases fairly frequently, and I can tell you the biggest issue in such matters is the financial expense.
