LAKE WORTH, Fla. — A man who admitted to putting sugar water in the gas tanks of twenty ambulances, says he feels his actions were justified. Ryan O’Connor took a job at American Medical Response in Lake Worth hoping to do some good.

He told NewsChannel 5 in an exclusive interview, “When I first started the company, I was real eager to treat patients and get patient contact.”

But my management’s account, O’Connor’s latest actions, did anything but good.

Paul Gruhler of AMR, says, “He’s going up against what his job and career is supposed to be.”
