LEON COUNTY, Fla. — An on-duty Leon County emergency medical technician overdosed on heroin earlier this month just moments after transporting a pregnant woman to the labor and delivery wing of Tallahassee Memorial HealthCare, according to a Tallahassee Police Department incident report.
On July 13, Justin Becraft, 41, and another medic were called out to pick up the pregnant woman on Moccasin Gap Road at 7:10 p.m. After they dropped the woman off, Becraft said he needed to use the bathroom.
After about 15 to 20 minutes, fellow medics began to worry about Becraft, who hadn’t come out of the bathroom. They knocked on a bathroom door and could hear Becraft groaning from the other side, according to police reports in support of misdemeanor charges against him for possession of narcotic equipment.
