Ambulance chasing…literally

A few weeks ago a call came over the police scanner about someone stealing an ambulance from McLeod and leading police on a chase. So I grabbed my camera and ran out the door only to find the wrecked ambulance and the suspect already arrested. Luckily they brought him back to an area closer to McLeod while they investigated what happened. Originally, because he was a patient at McLeod, it was unknown whether he would be charged or not. Last week he was, so now I am able to run his photo and name. I love this photo because you can make out the ambulance on the tow truck in the background as the suspect sits in the back seat of the patrol car.

Suspect Jeremy Dunmore sits in the back of a Florence Police Department patrol car after he allegedly walked out of McLeod and drove off in an idling Darlington County EMS ambulance on Thursday, September 18, 2008. The suspect hit two other vehicles, including a second ambulance and led law enforcement on a short chase before being apprehended.
