Texas Security Guard Quits His Job
TMZ reported that during an interview with FOX 7 Austin, Percy Payne’s manager approached him, stating that he was violating company policy. Shortly after, they argued, prompting Percy to return his uniform and quit on the spot.
The outlet revealed Percy Payne spoke to the news station with surveillance footage allegedly showing two men assaulting him in the parking lot he oversees.
While speaking to the television crew, Percy described how two young men on electric scooters arrived at his job site and scuffled with him on surveillance video. His manager eventually appeared and reprimanded him.
Percy’s manager blamed him for the alleged assault, which pushed him to his breaking point and led him to quit his job. He later resumed the interview with FOX 7 Austin dressed in his own clothes. Percy asserts that the two men attempted to steal his car, prompting him to engage in a physical altercation with them.
TMZ further clarified that Percy was dissatisfied with how the police responded to the on-duty incident.
