One of the frustrating things about the case was that it took a month after the incident for the company to finally fire the man. Also, the policy does not state that the person must be fired. They could have given him some other type of punishment and allow him to keep his job. By all accounts, he was a very good employee with no history of discipline problems.

A 51 year old man Roger Kline was fired from his job at Best Buy when he tackled a man trying to steal a laptop computer. Kline said he was standing near the front doors when he heard the store manager announce on the speaker system that someone was running through the store trying to steal laptops. Kline saw the running man and began to move toward the front doors. "As he stood up, I grabbed a hold of him and threw him to the ground," he said.

The man, 45-year-old Brent Carter Latendresse, was arrested and has been charged in with felony theft and misdemeanor drug possession.
