Video: Fla. Paramedic Flips Patient Off Stretcher

Kenneth Hallenbeck was transporting a patient, 48-year-old James Slater, to Wuesthoff Medical Center- Rockledge when the incident occurred, according to Rockledge Police Department Spokesperson Donna Seyferth.

Kenneth Hallenbeck will enter a plea and be sentenced at 9 a.m. on Monday, June 22, in Viera. Judge John C. Murphy is slated to preside over the case.
