When a security guard at Best Buy tackled a suspect who allegedly punched a police officer, he got fired by the retailer. It said the employees actions violated company policy.
Best Buy changed course Monday and said it would like to rehire the guard who acted at the Roseville, Calif., store.
"We made a decision to terminate our employee for violating our clear policies but have had reason to take another look at what happened,"
"In the end, we understand he made a split second decision to do what he thought was right," the company added, "and while we wish he hadnt put himself or anyone else at risk, we regret our initial decision and will be offering him his job back."
The Placer County Sheriffs Department said officers made contact with Timothy Trujillo, 35, after receiving a tip that he was nearby. He was wanted for questioning in burglaries.
"Trujillo struck one of the detectives and fled in an attempt to escape. After a short foot pursuit they were able to get Trujillo under control and handcuffed," the Placer County Sheriffs Office said in a statement last week. "Trujillo and his car were searched and detectives found methamphetamine, stolen property and burglary tools."
Trujillo was arrested on the scene and faces charges for "assaulting and resisting a peace officer, possession of burglary tools, possession of methamphetamine, and burglary," according to the statement. "After further investigation, detectives connected Trujillo to burglaries in Placer County, in addition to his Nevada burglaries. He was booked at the South Placer Jail, where he remains in custody without bail."
