Michigan Worker Fired After Turning In Gun Found On The Job
Sometimes it doesn't pay to do the right thing. Just ask John Chevilott, a former public-works employee in Wayne County, Mich., who earlier this month found a loaded, snubnosed revolver while mowing grass in Detroit's Brightmoor neighborhood, turned it in and was promptly fired.

"It was damaged, so it could've went off. Surprisingly, it didn't kill the guy on the mower," he told Detroit TV station WJBK. Chevilott (pictured at left) said the crew was waiting for Detroit police to swing by and pick up the gun, but they never showed.
So the veteran employee of the Department of Public Services did what he thought was the right thing: Finished the job and then turned the gun into police later the same evening

This one deserves a BIG Come On MAN!

    I bet if he had taken the gun and used it to commit a crime he would have been suspended with pay.

    At least he's got a union fighting for him.

    Unless there is more the the story, that is fucking stupid.

    Peace

    So lemme get this straight.

    City worker, ACTUALLY DOING HIS JOB, finds a loaded weapon. Calls cops. They take a long time to arrive. City worker trying to do the right thing , and I assume go back to work instead of fuck off til cops arrive, STILL does right thing and gets weapon off the street and gives it over to the proper authorities, gets fired?


    Hmmm, maybe the folks running Detroit are the same folks who run big business/wall street.

    only in America
