Investigation finds Preston Hemphill violated rules regarding stun gun use, and video shows him saying ‘I hope they stomp his ass’
Emergency medical services board member Jeff Beaman said during Friday’s emergency meeting that there may have been other licensed personnel on scene – including a supervisor – who could have prevented the situation that led to the death of Nichols. Beaman said he hopes the board addresses that issue in the future.
“The [state] department [of health] alleges that neither Mr Sandridge nor Mr Long engaged in emergency care and treatment to patient TN, who was clearly in distress during the 19-minute period,” said Matt Gibbs, an attorney for the state department of health. “And they failed to provide that help,” Smith said. “They were his best shot, and they failed to help.”
