PORTLAND, Ore. — A Portland paramedic was arrested Monday on sex abuse charges after allegedly assaulting a patient during a ride to the hospital over the weekend.

Police are concerned because the paramedic, Lannie L. Haszard, was at the center of a similar investigation last spring. But authorities didn’t have enough evidence to bring charges in that case.

Haszard, 61, of Vancouver, is facing two counts of first-degree sex abuse.
