Town Police Logs: Man Arrested For Allegedly Interfering With an EMS Call

Amagansett man was charged with obstruction of governmental administration.

The following information was supplied by the East Hampton Town Police Department. A criminal charge is only an accusation and does not indicate guilt.

• Frank E. Thompson, who is 58, was arrested in his Amagansett home after he continually got in the way of police who were trying to assist an unconscious woman on April 3.

According to police, they responded to an EMS call for a woman who sustained head injuries from a fall at an Abrahams Landing Road house. When they arrived at about 1:40 p.m., they found Thompson "highly intoxicated and agitated was blocking the main doorway of the residence," police said. Officers instructed him to move out of the way so that they could treat the injured female, who was bleeding from her forehead and was unresponsive. He moved, allowing the officers to enter the house, "however he remained highly agitated cursing at both officers," an arrest report said.

While one officer treated the woman, another officer attempted to keep the defendant from interfering. After several attempts, police warned him he would be placed under arrest. He took "an aggressive stance" and tried to force his way around one officer. Both officers were able to subdue him and placed him in handcuffs. He was charged with obstruction of governmental administration in the second-degree, a misdemeanor.

While in custody at headquarters, he requested medical assistance, though the exact reason was not clear. He was taken to Southampton Hospital, and was issued an appearance ticket for April 11.
