OCEAN SPRINGS, Miss. (AP) - A south Mississippi man remained
jailed Thursday on accusations he stole two medical bags from an
unsecured ambulance while paramedics were inside a hospital tending
to a patient.
Ocean Springs police say 21-year-old Ryan Scott Odom of
Vancleave is charged with burglary and being held on a $100,000
bond. Odom was arraigned this week for the April 16 incident
outside Ocean Springs Hospital.
Police Capt. Terry Harris says Odom is accused of jumping into
the back of the ambulance near the emergency room and stealing bags
that had pain medication, syringes and other items.
Harris says a woman called the police department to report Odom
dropped off the bags at her home. Ambulance workers told police
nothing was missing from the bags.

Exactly… He’s stupid for doing it in the first place but what was the point? They said nothing appeared to be missing from the bags. He looks messed up on something…maybe pain pills wasn’t his drug of choice. He must have been hoping something else was in that bag. What that would be, I have no idea. Idiots!!!

What is this world coming to? How could you go into an ambulance parked at an ER while they were inside helping someone? This is the same person that’s gonna want to sue the city when he’s injured and they won’t come pick his butt up. People really amaze me.
