A woman has been arrested after allegedly putting a note on a parked ambulance outside her house and making comments to paramedics attending to an emergency.
The note, which told the drivers to “move your van from outside my house” caused a stir after British paramedics posted it to Twitter on Sunday, Feb. 18.
The next day, although no complaint had been officially lodged, local police announced that they had tracked down the 26-year-old woman and arrested her for a Public Order offense.
In addition to the 37-word note, the ambulance service said that she was verbally abusive.
The West Midlands ambulance had parked in the street on Sunday, Feb. 18, in the city of Stoke-on-Trent while paramedics attended a call.
When they returned they found a note, which said the following:
“If this van is for anyone but Number 14 then you have no right to be parked here.
“I couldn’t give a [explitive] if the whole street collapsed. Now move your van from outside my house.”
“So upset to be sent this by one of our crews this morning!“ she wrote. ”Along with this note left on their [ambulance] they received a load of verbal abuse.”
The ambulance service was flooded with comments of support.
“Dear ALL Emergency Services. If and when needed please feel to block my driveway, car or anything else for that matter. If you want a brew.. the kettle is always on. Need the loo? No problem. Kind Regards, Just one of the majority of folk.”
On Monday morning, in a statement on Twitter, Staffordshire police confirmed that the woman, 26, had been arrested for a Section 5 public order offence.
