No Kidnapping Charge?
A West Side man was ordered held on $50,000 bond Sunday on charges alleging he stole an ambulance that had two paramedics inside working on his friend in the Garfield Park community.
Judge James Brown ordered Jimmy McCoy held on $50,000 bond during a hearing in Cook County Criminal Court.
McCoy, 27, who was charged with felony possession of a stolen motor vehicle, is scheduled to appear for a preliminary hearing Oct. 15 in West Felony Court (Br. 44).
McCoy has four felony convictions on drug charges and one attempted robbery, Assistant State's Atty. Michael Cheronis said in court. Police said McCoy had previously been arrested 32 times.
Thirty-two arrests? Not a record breaker by any means, but still. Nothing that 10 more years behind bars wouldn't cure.

you gots it all wrong office! dude just was helpin out!
Oh, come on; the distraught friend was just trying to help get them all to the hospital a bit sooner...
Only being held on 5 grand cash??? This county is a fucking joke.
Kidnapping requies ransom....
McCoy told Officers: "He thought he could get to the hospital quicker".
Felony charges approved and the keys were in the ambulance? Why not crim. tresspass to veh. like they down play every other poss. of a stolen motor veh. when you call for approval? Amazing how the asa's pick and choose when they want to enforce the laws that are on the books.
I'm wondering if he was requested to blow or provide a drug testing specimen. That would have put the icing on the cake so to speak.
---not a cop
What about the paramedics? Why did they leave a running motor vehicle where anyone could drive off with it?
heard from fireman that the guy was a relative of the patient in the back of the ambulance--the reason he drove the ambulance was because he thought he would help the paramedics and drive to the hospital while they worked on his relative in the back--only in chicago!!
Why no post about the Lynnwood Cop. Shaved had two post about it.
that was great- wish I could have seen the face on the paramedics inside the ambo - they should do a reality show where they do the same thing showing the back of ambo on camera

Answer the vehicle needs to stay running. Proper temperature must be kept in the cab at all times and also a huge amount of power is needed to maintain all equipment on board.
A preacher said, "Anyone with 'special needs' who wants to be prayed over, please come forward to the front by the altar."
With that, Leroy got in line, and when it was his turn, the Preacher asked, "Leroy, what do you want me to pray about for you?"
Leroy replied, "Preacher, I need you to pray for help with my hearing."
The preacher put one finger of one hand in Leroy's ear, placed his other hand on top of Leroy's head, and then prayed and prayed and prayed.
He prayed a "blue streak" for Leroy, and the whole congregation joined in with great enthusiasm.
After a few minutes, the preacher removed his hands, stood back and asked, "Leroy, how is your hearing now?"
Leroy answered, "I don't know. It ain't 'til next week."
how about unlawful restraint, it's not like the paramedics could leave the ambulance while goofball was driving it---- psmv is a chickenshit charge which is why the bond was so low..... its not even a part one offense....
(720 ILCS 5/10‑1) (from Ch. 38, par. 10‑1)
Sec. 10‑1. Kidnapping.
(a) A person commits the offense of kidnapping when he or she knowingly:
(1) and secretly confines another against his or her
will;
(2) by force or threat of imminent force carries
another from one place to another with intent secretly to confine that other person against his or her will; or
(3) by deceit or enticement induces another to go
from one place to another with intent secretly to confine that other person against his or her will.
(b) Confinement of a child under the age of 13 years, or of a severely or profoundly mentally retarded person, is against that child's or person's will within the meaning of this Section if that confinement is without the consent of that child's or person's parent or legal guardian.
(c) Sentence. Kidnapping is a Class 2 felony.
(Source: P.A. 96‑710, eff. 1‑1‑10.)

Doesn't exactly fit the elements of kidnapping.
By The Time This Is Over With, This Man Will Be Made A Hero. The Paramedics Will Face Charges. A Large Law Suit With A Healthy Settlement.
PS: Have A Nice Day ????

All of the equipment in the back of the ambo is powered by the engine.

The stupid question above doesn't deserve a response.
And you can breed? Scary!
He's fixin to get his life turned around and take the next CFD exam. He's hopin' for a meritorious appointment to paramedic. No charges should have been placed at all. He was just showing his sincerity about gettin' a career and turning his life around.
Why you folks always trying to keep us down ???
Algonquin J. Calhoun, Esq.
Whats the matter???? The cops couldnt get him to admit it was him that stole the bamba-lance? So I guess the states atorney wouldnt go with it huh?
"-the reason he drove the ambulance was because he thought he would help the paramedics and drive to the hospital while they worked on his relative in the back--only in chicago!!"
Only in da ghetto. It's another world folks. A dimension not only of sight and sound but of (lack of) mind......

Are you the police or what? Asking that stupid ass question.
If Crook County were serious about cracking down on crime (which they clearly aren't) they'd throw every possible charge at this shithead career criminal and send him back downstate for another 10 years at least.
Its pathetic how Anita Alvarez recently spoke about the need for more gun control while constantly allowing her office to under-charge violent thugs accused repeatedly of violent crimes.
They should've assigned the job to the 14 yo impersonator. He probably coulda gotten kidnapping charges approved. I think he was on furlo though..
"A West Side man was ordered held on $50,000 bond Sunday on charges alleging he stole an ambulance that had two paramedics inside working on his friend in the Garfield Park community...McCoy had previously been arrested 32 times."
Please. A little concern for the safety of others. Prevent this sort of person with Norplant so that the police won't have to shoot them later on, which could endanger innocent bystanders.
What else can you say?

I wonder if anyone ever thought of supplying 2 sets of keys so that they could lock the ambulance and leave it running. Maybe they were supplied with 2 sets and just didn't bother???
To the unpublished asshat who claims we aren't publishing posts with the proper charge of "unlawful restraint:"
Have you read comments #14 and #15 asshat? Oh gee...there it is.
Now if you had said "SCC isn't publishing my posts where I call them assholes, pussies and tools," that might have been a tad more accurate.
As it is, this blog is read by 11,000 people a day. Not every one of them are cops who have a passing familiarity with the law. When we post, we try to include those people and not do too much "inside baseball" type stuff where everyone then spends hours and multiple posts explaining the terminology about 50 times because guess who has to wade through the 400 comments a day and weed out the redundant explanations?
So we're sorry for making our job easier in order to bring you this completely free website, devoid of ads and extraneous bullshit.
You're welcome dickhead.

Hey, the medics were working hard on the patient, only human, can't think of absolutely everything -- but I bet they remember this stunt now that it's happened. Hell, turn your back for half a second and you've got a 14-year-old partner driving the car...
Copper said long ago, "You don't know what they're going to do because they don't even know what they're going to do." I try to live by this on the street -- expect nothing, expect anything, and remember to be thankful for anything good that comes along.
If you insist on a "multicultural" society without "concord" -- a general consensus of the way things are and the way things should be done -- then you have to design for the lowest common denominator, with everything triple-locked all the time, broken glass cemented atop the walls, etc. -- like in a museum with smeared-up Plexiglas shields around everything. It's a drag.
"Celebrate diversity!"
