\"Joe<\/a><\/center><\/p>\n

Bobo sends us a link to the story<\/a> of veteran, Joe Morici, who left the service and was managing a CVS store in Beltsville, Maryland in the Metro DC area. Last Friday, a couple of druggies stormed over the counter at his pharmacy and scooped up a bunch of narcotics from the safe. They headed for the door with Joe in hot pursuit; <\/p>\n

Morici says fearing for the safety of his customers and co-workers, he pursued the suspects to the front door where one of the suspects attacked him with this screwdriver.<\/p>\n

Morici says, “He tried to hit me again with the screwdriver. I disarmed him of the screwdriver, while having the other guy pinned against the one door.”<\/p>\n

Morici says he even managed to retrieve most, if not all, of the stolen pills during the struggle. The suspects got away.<\/p>\n

Morici says while customers and co-workers praised him for his heroics, he feared his actions would get him in trouble. He says CVS has a strict policy against confronting robbers. He says he was fired later that day.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

In my opinion, CVS should reconsider their actions in this case. It was dangerous drugs headed for the street, Morici’s concerns, I’m sure, weren’t only for the innocent people who were in the immediate vicinity at the time of the crime, but also for the community. If they had been allowed to get away with their theft, I’m sure they’d be back around in the near future. Of course, now that Batman Morici isn’t at the store anymore, they may be back anyway.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
