Albuquerque Firefighter Facing More Allegations

An Albuquerque firefighter with a history of disciplinary problems is now facing new allegations that he talked patients who needed to go to the hospital, out of going.

Brad Tate, a former UNM football player, is accused of telling patients with serious medical conditions that they did not need medical attention. Some of those patients later had to be rushed to the ER.

Tate, who’s history includes assault allegations, a bar brawl, and allegations of using inappropriate sexual language to faculty at an elementary school while on a run, is at the center of a wrongful death suit by the family of a man killed in 2009 in an apparatus accident.
