Fired Best Buy security guard who tackled suspect outside California store can have his job back, company says

The Best Buy security guard in California who was fired after tackling a suspect can have his job back.

The employee had been discharged for violating company policy after helping law enforcement apprehend Timothy Trujillo outside the Roseville store earlier this month. However, Best Buy said in a statement to the Daily News on Tuesday that it has taken “another look at what happened.”

“In the end, we understand he made a split-second decision to do what he thought was right and, while we wish he hadn’t put himself or anyone else at risk, we regret our initial decision and will be offering him his job back,” the statement read.
