TOES OUT OF JOINT |
A PARAMEDIC who swiped a man's foot from a crash scene is being sued by the man who she took it from - even though it wasn't attached at the time.
Karl Lambert lost his limb after a high speed collision back in Sept 2008.and was airlifted from the scene.
But rather than return it Cynthia "Cindy" Economou, a former St. Lucie County Fire District firefighter-paramedic took it and used it to train her body recovery dog.
Economou admitted the theft and was sentenced to six months probation in 2009 for second-degree petit theft in the foot swipe, though she told the court at the time that when she found the foot trapped in the wreckage an hour after Lambert was airlifted from the scene, it was unusable.
