Paramedic to be Fired in Baltimore Noose Case
BALTIMORE --
A Baltimore city paramedic trainee who admitted to placing a threatening note and a noose inside a firehouse will be fired.
Officials said Donald Maynard is currently suspended but is in the termination process. They said Maynard is the one who initially reported finding the note and rope.
A statement from Fire Chief William Goodwin said Maynard's scheme was "meant to create the perception that members within our department were acting in a discriminatory and unprofessional manner."
In a written statement Nov. 21, Mayor Sheila Dixon said she was outraged by what she called a "deplorable act of hatred and intimidation."
