HAMDEN — A paramedic for American Medical Response is accused of sexually assaulting an unconscious woman who was strapped to a stretcher in the back of an ambulance early Christmas morning.
Authorities said Mark Powell, 49, of 90 Clintonville Road, North Haven, turned himself in Thursday and was charged with sexual assault and unlawful restraint, both in the first degree.
Hamden Police Chief Thomas J. Wydra Friday called the arrest “shocking” and a “breach of public trust.”
American Medical Response General Manager Charles Babson said in a statement that police contacted AMR Tuesday about the allegations, and that Powell immediately was placed on unpaid administrative leave.
Powell has worked for AMR part-time since 2006 and full-time since September, according to the company. ( Read the rest at the New Haven Register online )
