NEW YORK — An emergency medical technician has been arrested for allegedly getting out of his ambulance to place a fake 911 call about a man in cardiac arrest, trying to divert his crew from responding to a call about a sick child in another borough.
William Medina, 27, was charged Friday with falsifying business records, obstructing governmental administration and falsely reporting an incident — all misdemeanors.
According to a criminal complaint and a Department of Investigation probe by the city, Medina had just completed a transport in Queens Aug. 19 when his unit was assigned to respond to a sick child with a possible high fever in Brooklyn.
