Baltimore Co. Paramedic Pleads Guilty In Bodily Fluid Case: Report
Prosecutors said Baltimore County spent about $263,000 on hazmat cleaning and new ice machines after the alleged misconduct.
- On Friday, 36-year-old Christopher Carroll pleaded guilty to three counts of causing another person to ingest bodily fluid, accepting a plea deal in a Towson courtroom packed with Baltimore County Fire Department uniforms.
- Investigations revealed Carroll recorded 64 videos of his misconduct and posted them online, including one instance where he urinated into an ice maker at a Pikesville fire station, using a scoop to mix the urine throughout the ice.
- Roughly $263,000 in taxpayer funds covered hazmat cleaning and new ice machines at all 25 professional fire stations following a supervisor's complaint that triggered the investigation.
- Prosecutors will recommend a 30-year sentence with all but 20 years suspended and five years of probation; sentencing is scheduled for October 13.
- Defense attorney Seth Okin declined to comment, stating "It would be inappropriate to make a comment right now, given that sentencing is pending on October 13." Baltimore County Fire Department officials confirmed resources and support remain available for all employees.
