So apparently a student from CSU has been accused of stealing an ambulance. As soon as I saw this article, I first was saying to myself how in the world can a college student steal an ambulance? Like…. literally HOW?! Well this is apparently what happened according to sources from kdvr.com
The Fort Collins Coloradoan reports crews with the Poudre Valley Hospital were treating a patient on campus and when they returned about 2:15 a.m., the ambulance was gone.
“Our ambulance is gone,” an EMT told dispatch.
The ambulance was tracked by GPS to Loveland, where police found Stefan Sortland, 18, standing next to it wearing an EMT vest. Police say Sortland refused their command to drop items — later found to be a blanket and a box of Wheat Thins crackers — he was carrying, prompting them to use a stun gun to subdue him.
Police records show Sortland, a sophomore at CSU, told police he swiped the ambulance and talked of “following the bright lights and other ramblings which were not relevant to the incident at hand.”
Police say the ambulance appears to have been driven off U.S. 34 into a sign before it was disabled. Sortland also told police he broke out a window of a Nissan sedan and tried to swipe it before taking the ambulance. He’s also accused of smashing the window of another sedan near where the ambulance was found in Loveland.
