News Sentinel (Knoxville, Tenn.) | | Wednesday, February 1, 2012


MT. JULIET, Tenn.--A man hopped into a Wilson County ambulance that was blocking his car and tried to move it while paramedics were loading a patient.

Mt. Juliet police said that paramedics heard the engine start and were able to stop 65-year-old Warren Melamed before he could move the ambulance.

Melamed, of Brentwood, was arrested on Saturday on one count of unauthorized use of a vehicle. Melamed told officers he was mad because the ambulance was blocking his car.
