WESTERN COVENTRY, R.I. — The Emergency Medical Technician license of a Western Coventry EMT was suspended on Thursday following accusations against him of recent sexual misconduct toward a female coworker.
According to a Summary Suspension provided by the RI Dept. of Health (HEALTH), 32-year-old Randy Crowe, an EMT on the Western Coventry Fire Department, was accused by a younger female coworker of acting inappropriately in a sexual manner after he asked her to climb inside a rescue truck at WCFD’s Summit Station on May 21 so “he could practice placing electrocardiogram (ECG) leads on her under the guise of teaching her how to do so properly.”
The HEALTH report states that instead of traditionally placing the four ECG lines on the wrists and ankles, Crowe “placed two leads on her hips and collar bone” and while doing so “pulled her pants down”. According to the report, “the Complainant also alleges that [Crowe] brushed her chest, told her to ‘keep smiling’ and pulled her face close to his in ‘almost a kissing motion.’”
