Resume: Last evening, an ambulance crew from Brandywine Hundred was traveling northbound on I-495 when a vehicle, a 2007 Honda Accord, past them at was described as a high rate of speed. The Honda lost control and struck a guardrail becoming disabled.

The crew stopped to assist the driver- Maurice Wright. Mr. Wright was seen moving from the driver’s seat to the passenger seat. When the ambulance crew contacted him, Wright became irate and spat in the face of one of the crew members.

Troopers arrived on the scene and took Wright into custody. He was transported back to Troop 1 where he was formally charged with DUI, Driving without a License, Offensive Touching of a Ambulance EMT(misdemeanor) and Disorderly Conduct (misdemeanor). Wright was released without bail and his court date is pending.

They had their chance , should have done the damage on him when
they found him. They would have been taking him to the morgue
rather than the police station.

Wright advice: Run away! Run away!

Oh well, they let him go probably never to be seen again. Meanwhile the EMT will have to be tested for whatever diseases this man may have. He should be locked up to make sure he doesn't hace anything transmittable. Unbelievable.

Well, if the EMT's can't handle that, then they should quit. They can be replaced. That is what happens when you deal with the public and they should have known that when they signed on.

2:11 And you've signed up for all the hours of training already!! If EMT's are so expendable I hope for your sake there's one available when you need emergency medical help. I'm a former EMT & did not sign up to have anyone spit on me.

I guess I won't sign up to be an EMT. I would have ripped his throat out, shoved it in his mouth, then laughed and told him to spit again! I don't believe being emergency personel means you have to accept being assaulted by sub-human beings. Yes, if you drive drunk & without a license, then spit on public officials when stopped, you are not quite human
and should have no human rights at all.
7:07 is right on the money. Waterboarding a P.O.S. like this would be fine as long as you didn't waste time and money bringing IT up for air.

anonymous 2:11....please do tell me where you are employed so I can come there tomorrow and spit in your face while you are trying to help me. Seriously? I don't ever recall in any EMS textbook or class or Paramedic class I have read or taken that says I "signed up to be spit on". If someone came to your place of business and spit on you, you would have them arrested. Just because a person is an EMT or Paramedic does not mean we should be treated like crap. Remember that when you or your family member needs help, believe me, that day will come, it does for everyone.
