Officer Handcuffs Firefighter Working at Crash Scene
Because he wouldn't move his truck
A Southern California firefighter ended up in handcuffs this week after he disagreed with a highway patrol officer on where to park a fire engine.
The California Highway Patrol detained engineer Jacob Gregoire of the Chula Vista Fire Department for about 30 minutes after he refused to move an engine partially blocking a lane, CNN affiliate KFMB reported.
It was there to help protect ambulance crews treating people injured in a rollover accident on Interstate 805.
