Bank Teller Fired for Stopping Bank Robbery - Crimesider - CBS News
:aicmon:
A Seattle bank teller ran down a would-be bank robber and held him until police arrived. To say thanks, the bank fired him.

Jim Nicholson, 30, who had worked for more than two years at a Key Bank branch near the Seattle Center, says he understands the bank's strict policy that employees comply with robbery demands and avoid confrontations.

But he told The Seattle Times that instinct took over when a thin man in a beanie cap, dark clothing and sunglasses pushed a black backpack across the bank counter on Tuesday and demanded money.

Nicholson threw the bag to the floor, lunged toward the man and demanded to see a weapon. The man bolted for the door with Nicholson in pursuit.

He chased him several blocks before knocking him to the ground with the help of a passer-by. Nicholson then held the man until police arrived.

On Thursday, Nicholson was fired. Key Bank spokeswoman Anne Foster declined to comment on Nicholson and his actions.

Police and the FBI discourage such heroics. Bank tellers are trained to get robbers out the door quickly and are advised against possibly escalating a situation over money that's federally insured.

Nicholson said he understands why he was fired.

"They tell us that we're just supposed to comply, but my instincts kicked in and I did what's best to stop the guy," he said. "I thought if I let him go he would rob more banks and cause more problems."

Seattle police Sgt. Sean Whitcomb said the best course for citizens is to be good witnesses to crimes.

"When confronted by a violent criminal, it is best to comply unless they feel their personal safety is in jeopardy. It is possible that taking action and confronting the criminal may lead to the injury of the victim or other bystanders."

"You want tellers to be proactive, but you want them to do it safely," said FBI Special Agent Fred Gutt.

The would-be robber, a 29-year-old transient, has a lengthy criminal history, including convictions for theft and robbery, according to court records. Charges in the attempted robbery were not immediately filed.

Nicholson said he has run after shoplifters while working at other retail jobs.

"It's something I almost look forward to. It's a thrill and I'm an adrenaline-junkie person. It's the pursuit," he said.
They can't just write these people up and make them watch a video or something?

It makes sense because if employees try to be a hero and get hurt their suing the bank :yeshrug:

I get that but they coulda just put him on a final and explained that he should never try that again, I don't think people should be fired for this kinda shyt

I was watching one of those shows where victims of crime confront their attacker. One guy was on there cause he got shot in the head during a robbery at the motel he worked at. He survived and recovered but the motel he worked at fired him.

Is he serious though?! If so, wow! He must've been feeling her up pretty good for them to recognize it on the video. And considering I didn't see any "angry" smilies in OP first post, I'd have to agree with the boss.

gettin fired for inappropriate touching on a under age girl is gonna make it hard to find another job, especially considering before this happened you were only qualified to drive a school bus.
