The guy allegedly threw blows at Gordon before he restrained him. Police were alerted to the area by onlookers, and they soon showed up there. William Branch is accused of committing a carjacking while armed. He is currently being held by the police.
Anonymous Chick-fil-A staff member told WGN-TV that before the attempted carjacking, William Branch had been acting disruptively in the eatery, causing the employees to keep an eye on him.
The owner of the Chick-Fil-A in Fort Walton Beach, Matthew Sexton, praised the brave worker’s actions in a written statement, saying:
“WE’RE SO RELIEVED THAT OUR GUESTS AND TEAM MEMBERS ARE SAFE FOLLOWING THIS ALARMING INCIDENT. I’M GRATEFUL FOR MY AMAZING TEAM MEMBER, MYKEL GORDON, WHO SO SELFLESSLY JUMPED IN TO INTERVENE AND HELP OUR GUESTS. I COULDN’T BE PROUDER OF HIS INCREDIBLE ACT OF CARE.”

But given the kind reception, Mykel Gordon is getting from law enforcement and restaurant managers, it seems unlikely that he will suffer any severe consequences for halting the suspected carjacking.
Hey, @ChickfilA you have to get this kid a promotion or a raise, he displayed his good and kind heartedness that people are missing now a days.
He didn’t have to hel, but yet he went out and helped the mom and her baby! 🐄🐄
