Yesterday I called Casey after work, little did I know, while we were talking of trivial daily things, he was pinning a shoplifter to the floor! Let me tell you the story:
Alderwood mall has two AT&T stores. One is a kiosk in the center of the mall and one is a store next to the food court. The employees take turns working each and yesterday Casey was working at the kiosk. He was helping a gentleman and headed to go to the store for an item he needed. He passes Zumies where a police woman was talking to some shop lifters. Casey mentioned to the guy next to him that they were "Busted!". He turned the corner near the AT&T store and heard the alarms go off! Three big men had taken the I-phones on display, cut the cords and ran out the door, setting off all alarms. Casey's job has taught him to ignore shoplifters and let the police handle the problem but these guys were to close to Casey for him to just stand aside and let them go. Without hesitation and within seconds casey realized what happened, he body checked one guy against the store door and threw him to the floor. All of the phones flew out and the guy got back up and fought with Casey. Casey grabbed his jacket and the guy wrestled out of it and ran. Casey caught up to him and threw him to the ground in front of Auntie Anne's and pinned him to the floor! He called for someone to get the police officer at Zumies and she went after the second guy and ended up in a struggle outside the mall. The third guy stuck around for some reason and all criminals were apprehended thanks to Casey! The police found more stolen items in their car and all men will be charged with felonies. I hope they will be locked away for a few years, at least long enough for Casey to get onto a police department so he wont be at AT&T when they come back for him! My husband is a "bad A" and I am so proud of him!
