Farmer Williams
A Todd County Grand Jury on Friday indicted a Guthrie man accused of throwing a punch at EMS personnel who were transporting him to the hospital last month.
According to the original report from the Guthrie Police Department, Officer John Webb responded to a residence on Dixie Beeline Highway for reports of a suicidal person. He made contact with 34-year old Joshua Farmer of Guthrie, who reportedly said he had consumed a fifth of alcohol and wanted to kill himself.
EMS was contacted and began to transport Farmer to Jennie Stuart Medical Center for evaluation. EMS personnel reportedly discovered prescription medication in an unmarked container in Farmer’s possession, and he told them he had consumed some while drinking.
Officer Webb was traveling behind the ambulance and reportedly saw a physical altercation occur through the back window. The ambulance pulled over and EMS stated that Farmer had become combative and had thrown at punch at them.
Farmer is charged with third-degree assault, prescription medication not in a proper container, public intoxication and possession of a controlled substance.
Meanwhile, the grand jury indicted Shane Gilkey for felony theft; 35-year old Daniel Williams for methamphetamine possession and driving on a DUI suspended license; 30-year old Marion Sisk for felony theft and being a persistent felony offender and Brooke Deason for first-degree perjury.
