Employee Of the Month
Atlanta, GA
An officer responded to a call about a store clerk lying on top of a suspected shoplifter outside a store on Metropolitan Parkway. When the officer arrived, he saw the clerk and an unidentified man struggling on the ground with the suspect. Both the clerk and the suspect were bleeding and exhausted, the officer noted. “I also observed an open carton of Snickers candy bars next to where the struggle had taken place.”
The officer handcuffed the suspect. The unidentified man, who had blood on his clothes, said, “It’s unbelievable how strong that guy is.” He said he’d helped the clerk stop the suspect, but he was in a hurry and didn’t want to be listed in the report. The suspect was arrested for allegedly trying to steal the 24-pack of Snickers candy bars (worth $50). He has “13 1/2″ tattooed on his arm.
The clerk said during the struggle, the suspect bit down on his arm and wouldn’t let go until police arrived. Grady medics said the clerk should go to a hospital. The clerk declined, saying he couldn’t leave work.

A box of snickers and another $7 isn’t worth being bit in the arm. I’d have pounded his face till he let go of my arm though!
If it were me I would have been pointing my finger saying—he went that-a way.
