Walgreens Manager tackles and holds down thief.

[Chucktshoes]

I might end up losing my job over this, but once you assault me, I'm going to ensure that you are there for the cops to get arrested.

I'm waiting on word as to whether or not I still have a job.

I hope you thumped that noggin a few times.

[Chucktshoes]

No, I didn't, but as we were wrestling, his pants came down some and his junk ended up getting exposed. He spent 10 minutes face and junk down on the hot asphalt. considering the amount of road rash I have, on a few spots, I wouldn't want to be him.

Good luck, man - these companies don't have a very good track record wrt this sort of thing.

Did your wife say it was OK to post that here?

hehe, sorry, had to...

[mikegideon]

Scraped and sizzled junk will work

it would have been much cooler if you titled the thread "Walgreens' manager roasts nuts".

Good for you, man. If Walgreens reacts negatively, it's their loss! If they do, post it here, so we can make it known how we don't like them and wont shop there. I'm serious about this, I would stop going there at all if they do something bad.

Feel free to change it, I like your title better!

If Walgreens doesn't do the right thing by Chuckt you can be assured I'll never step foot in one again.

Regardless of asinine corporate policies based on fear of liability he did the right thing. If more people in this country would make a stand, even against the lowest of common thieves, we would all be a lot better off.

Good for you!

Bobo has already been indicted four other time for burglary and theft.

That little sentence right there is why I think America ought to adopt the ONLY thing I agree with muslims about. He's been caught stealing 4 times before. His right hand should have been in a jar in some medical school or lab waiting to do some kind of good for science after the second time (after the 2nd time because I believe everyone is allowed one mistake). His left hand would have been gone after the 3rd time (which there may not have been a 3rd time once he lost his right hand the time before that). And, there wouldn't have been a 4th time for you to have to tackle and possibly lose your job over.

Nice job. Hopefully the company use some common sense in their decision. This type of criminal behavior will only increase if the thieves know that they will not meet any resistance.

[Guest clownsdd]

Which walgreens?

[Chucktshoes]

Union & Mclean, if you pop in there I am the ginger.

[dunndw]

Nice work. Good luck on the whole job thing. Make sure to let us know the outcome

[Guest clownsdd]

Good for you. Keep us posted.

[Guest NashvegasMatt]

this never happens to me at the HD

[Guest Oaklands]

Best of luck. I agree, if they give you crap, let us know. Will be happy to post that on many other sites. Glad the bite was all you got and love that his nuts were roasted. Where is a squirrel when you need one?

[Dolomite`s Breezy]

I dont know.. I am thinking if that Bobo guy had a gun and you didnt... is Aleve really worth risking your life over? I prolly would have done the same thing..I hate thiefs.. but not knowing if he was armed or not.. maybe that would have made me think.

And the bite thing.. get tested ASAP.. who knows what this guy is infested with.

Didn't something similar happen at another Walgreens? I was already not using Walgreens because of another incident.

ummmm indictment does not necessarily mean he's been tried and convicted 4 times. it only means the Grand Jury found enough evidence to bring about charges for a crime in 4 separate instances. whether those cases went to trial or were pled out, is another story. lot's of stuff goes on behind the scenes that the media or anyone else doesn't know about.

[Guest 6.8 AR]

You did the right thing. I hope Walgreens does the right thing and give you a bonus.

[Links2k]

Well done Chucktshoes.

Yeah, pharmacist in MI. Used a gun, though, which was the biggest Walgreens no no.

As far as the bite goes, no broken skin, not even teeth marks. No worries there.

I think OS might have answered the other question. Not saying he did or didn't, but he might have.
