Longs Creek has a hero and his name is Robert Dorie.
He will be honored with the Medal of Bravery after capturing an armed robber almost four years ago in Sussex.
It was July.23rd when he was outside Marks Work Warehouse and saw several people running from a tavern, including one with a shotgun.
He tried to get away on a bicycle when Dorie sideswiped him with his vehicle and held him until RCMP arrived. Dorie tells CHSJ News, he never once stopped to think about his safety.
Dorie says his family is very proud of him but no word on when the medal ceremony will be.
Mike Toupin from the Miramichi will also receive the medal after stopping a run-away transport truck.
