Georgia Ambulance Company Caught Using Unlicensed Felons

A metro-Atlanta ambulance service has had its EMS license revoked following a local television station’s investigation into the use of non-licensed EMS personnel. Those non-licensed personnel also happen to be felons, one of whom is a registered sex offender.

The FOX 5 I-Team filmed employees of Members EMS transporting patients, and presented the evidence to state regulators who promptly suspended the owner’s EMT license and ordered the ambulance service to cease operations.
