AMARILLO, Texas — An Amarillo man already busted for impersonating a public servant has been arrested again, this time for allegedly pretending to be a paramedic and providing medical treatment to people at events around town.

Zachary Paul Harris, 22, is accused of attending events such as Homer’s Backyard Ball in May under the guise of a paramedic working for a fictitious ambulance service, said Jeremy Fowler, Randall County assistant district attorney.

“It’s a bizarre situation,” he said. “I’ve never seen someone try to impersonate a paramedic.”
