Kentucky Man Pleads Guilty To Posing As Doctor To Get Ambulance Rides
John Holliman, 20, of Lexington, Ky. pleaded guilty Friday to one charge each of practicing medicine without a certificate and disrupting public service. Sentencing is scheduled for Feb. 7.
Prosecutors agreed to drop two additional charges of practicing medicine without a certificate in exchange for the plea. Holliman withdrew a plea of innocent by reason of insanity.
Police in Cincinnati said Holliman produced documents that said he was a doctor, and convinced firefighters that he was authorized to ride along on emergency runs.
Police arrested Holliman at Cincinnati fire headquarters in June after a firefighter told officers he suspected someone was giving firefighters false information to ride with them.
Fire officials have said Holliman never touched a patient.
