Robert Edward Dorie, M.B.
Medal of Bravery
On July 23, 2006, Robert Dorie risked his life to capture an armed robber, in Sussex, New Brunswick. Mr. Dorie had noticed several people running frantically out of a pub and ran to the scene. He was confronted by an individual wearing a disguise and wielding a shotgun. The suspect ordered Mr. Dorie to move away, which he did. From a distance, Mr. Dorie looked back and saw the suspect fleeing on a bicycle. Mr. Dorie ran to his vehicle and pursued the suspect, sideswiping the bicycle. He then jumped out of his car and, after a brief struggle, subdued the suspect until police arrived.
