U.S. Soldier Home on Leave Thwarts Florida Bank Robbery
Published June 02, 2011

SARASOTA, Fla. -- An Army staff sergeant home on leave in southwest Florida chased down a suspected bank robber and held him until authorities arrived.
. . .
Peoples says he left his sons inside while he ran to his rented van and blocked the suspect's car in the parking lot. The suspect got out and pointed his gun at Peoples, who twisted the man's arm, stripped away the gun and slammed him to the ground. . .

He should get a little extra leave time! Five tours already and he is going back? Great to know he has your back if you serve with him!
