Las night I had a dispute with a supervisor after giving information of a possible robbery that occurred at the warehouse next door......He then became verbally argumentative and stated that he was warned about me and stated that I have a history of talking about things I know nothing about. (keep in mind that the police were still next door responding to the call). He then stated that several other supervisors complained about me being a poor and unprofessional worker. When questioned about whom was making the complaints, he gave names of supervisors who just the other day were commending me about my job performance to the bosses, which in turn came back to me, in which they told me of the supervisors that enjoyed having me work for them. When this supervisors became upset and sent me home saying I don't work at that particular site anymore, did he violate any particular laws? Is that harrassment and unlawful termination?

It isn't harrassment or unlawful termination. It sounds like it might have been an over-reaction though.
From your question, it isn't clear exactly what went on, or your current job status - are you terminated from your job altogether, or just not working in his area any more? Supervisors usually don't have the authority to terminate a person from a job, although it depends on company policy and on the situation.

No, it probably isn't unlawful termination. Most states have "at will" employment laws which means that you can be fired for any reason that is not specifically protected by law (typically discrimination due to race, gender, religion, age, etc.). Unless you are covered by a union contract, you probably don't have any recourse unless you can prove discrimination.
Unfair? Pehaps. Unlawful? Not likely.

Are you still within your probation period. Most companies can fire you "at will" within your probation period. If not, there would have to be documentation showing that your are not a good employee and thats why you were let go. I would call your HR or your bosses boss right away.

your supervisor sounds fishy... why would he all of a sudden dismiss and argue with you after you told him about a 'robbery'...
but I guess it would be (run it through with your lawyer...)
