FBI raids air ambulance service

[OkRob]

50 FBI agents raided the offices of AirEvac Lifeteam on Wednesday. Wonder what's up with that? Note the portable communications trailer they set up for intercommunications amongst all the agents in the first link.

Well, their air units are still flying today, heard AE21, and AE25 on calls today.

Wow, I didnt know the FBI was that ham sexy.

I feel sorry for the driver of that wagon. He has to sit with it all day, I'm sure.

My only question is if the agents had a medical contingency plan for getting to a hospital that included a trip in the AirEvac helos? West Plains is a ways from a major trauma center, I believe.

A few months ago the FBI raided a bunch of private ambulance companies in north Texas for alleged Medicare fraud.

Yep, the tahoe was manned the entire time it sat there. Talk about boring duty.

We have set up temporary stations for the Secret Service, and those too had to be
guarded.

And Air Evac never stopped flying or dispatching - they were allowed to continue providing service.

That's usually what happens. It's rarely the field side of an operation that is crooked, just the office folks.
