Chris Grant was supposed to get an honor this week from the White House for distracting a suspect during last month’s mass shooting at a Texas Walmart.

Instead, he was detained by U.S. Secret Service agents and police in El Paso called his story of heroism into question, ABC News reported. The Secret Service told a local news outlet that he was detained as a warrant was out for his arrest.
