BOISE, Idaho -- A Boise man was arrested Monday after police say he struck a paramedic as he was being placed into an ambulance.
Nathaniel Eugene Hammersmith, 26, appeared to be under the influence when he walked up to a fire station near South 16th Street and West Front Street. The firefighters tried to talk to him, but Hammersmith was “uncooperative and aggressive,” and ran across the street, police say.
Officers arrived and found the suspect, who couldn’t stand up and was barely able to talk, police said. They called for paramedics to take the man to a hospital to be evaluated.
