He added in the caption that he wanted Summer to work for him and that he wanted to fly her out to see the McGregor vs Cowboy fight. In a post uploaded on Facebook, Summer explained her side of things. She says she recognised the guy from earlier claiming that he had shoplifted before and when she saw him shoplift again she just thought to herself, 'not today'.
She further explained in the post that she did not tackle and stop the robbery at Best Buy for the managers but for the sole reason that the shoplifter needed to know that what he was doing was wrong.
