Louisiana Sporting Goods Store Employees Fired After Chasing Thief Who Stole a Pistol
Three employees of Academy Sports + Outdoors in Metairie, Louisiana, have been fired for chasing after a thief who allegedly stole a pistol on December 16.
The thief pretended to be a customer and was being shown a pistol before taking off with it.
Michelle Sutton, who was working as a team lead on the day of the incident, told local station WGNO that she sprang into action after hearing about the theft in progress on her radio.
“I just took off,” Sutton said. “I knew I needed some form of way to help the police.”
Sutton and two other sales associates ran out of the store looking for the thief but could not locate him.
