CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. — A Campbellsville man was arrested and jailed after reportedly striking a Hardin County EMT early Sunday, the News Enterprise reported.
Michael James Aumiller, 34, was charged with felony assault. An arrest citation states that he struck an EMT while in an emergency room at Baptist Health Hardin.
Initially, Elizabethtown police made contact with Aumiller at a gas station, where officers said the man was intoxicated and had facial injuries.
EMS providers transported him to the hospital. Aumiller reportedly kept spitting at the EMS providers so they put him in a spit hood, which he kept trying to remove. Then he struck the EMT, police said.
Aumiller is being held on $2,500 bond and is scheduled to appear in court on Jan. 21.
