The manager of Tallahassee’s Academy Sports was fired Tuesday after tackling a suspect accused of stealing a handgun last week. The suspect also allegedly threatened to shoot people.
Dean Crouch, 32, was the store manager who stopped Jason White from leaving the Mahan Drive store with a .40-caliber pistol from the firearms counter on June 29.
“Academy has decided to, instead of treating him like the hero he is, they terminated his employment effective immediately because he put his hands on Mr. White,” Crouch's attorney Ryan Hobbs said.
Just hours before he was taken into custody, White stole two handguns from Cash America Pawn on South Adams Street, according to Tallahassee Police.

Groupthink liberals are the only people that will punish someone for doing the right thing.
A great moment for good publicity and the business BLEW IT! WTH has our country become. Pussy wearing hats and firing employees DEFENDING their business.
WOW!
This will not bode well with Academy customers, of which I am one.
It's a shame what is going on and this employee didn't even get to call him a nasty name! Besides saving the merchandise for his store, the employee also delayed this character from killing somebody or somebody's, which he was obviously on a mission to do by going to the other store and trying the same thing.
