<\/a><\/center><\/p>\nWhile you’re wasting your time off tomorrow afternoon getting a safety briefing from your commander, think of Taylor Patterson, a Fort Hood soldier who was found by Harker Heights, Texas local police unresponsive in his car. They put the young soldier in cuffs and strapped him into their patrol car. Somehow, Patterson got loose from the seatbelt and cuffs and tried to steal the patrolmen’s shotgun, discharging it in the process. Then he jumped in an ambulance that had responded and left the scene, damaging some of the cruisers in the process. From KWTX 10<\/a>;<\/p>\n Police scanners crackled with radio calls during the chase as the driver of the stolen ambulance was talking with the officers who were pursuing him.<\/p>\n He told them he was heavily armed and had been trained by the Army as a Special Forces soldier.<\/p>\n The man drove east on U.S. 190 to Belton, where eventually he lost control of the ambulance, which crashed into a light pole at the Simmons Street exit, police said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n I checked the TO&E of the 615th Aviation Support Battalion, 1st Air Cavalry Brigade, 1st Cavalry Division, the unit Patterson is assigned to, and they don’t have any Special Forces soldiers, so I seriously doubt his claim. Those of you with AKO access can probably fill in some blanks about his duty position.<\/p>\n Thanks to Top Kone for the links.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
