ALVIN, Texas — An EMS ride-along program has been suspended after a theft occurred earlier this month.
The Alvin Sun reported that the theft happened at Alvin EMS building March 7. A radio was reported stolen March 20.
Capt. Todd Arendell, PIO with the Alvin Police Department, said Justin Brown, 19, was approved for a ride-along with Alvin EMS.
“After the individual left the EMS premise, EMS staff noticed a handheld radio missing,” Arendell said. “The radio has since been recovered from the same individual.”
Brown was arrested March 24 and charged with theft.
