Man Moved Conn. Ambulance With Medics, Patient Inside

April 24--DANBURY -- Police arrested a 52-year-old who allegedly moved an ambulance while medics treated a patient in the back.

The ambulance was at a scene on Sandpit Road on Friday night when the suspect, later identified as Peter Prunty, got in the driver's seat and moved the vehicle about 50 feet, police said.

Prunty then got in another vehicle and drove away, but a medic and firefighters got the license plate number of his vehicle. Officers later found Prunty and charged him with interfering with police.
