Officials said Thomas started yelling that he wanted to get out of the ambulance during transport and grabbed an EMT’s hands, refusing to let go until the rig was stopped.

Thomas then ran out of the ambulance and allegedly urinated in front of it before yelling for the crew to give him money for a bus pass. Officials said he yelled until he was given the money, and left the scene.

Police later found Thomas walking nearby and arrested him. He is charged with felony battery on a first responder and indecent exposure.
