Tired man arrested after climbing into ambulance to sleep By Julie Manganis Staff writer
SALEM - A drunken homeless man looking for a place to sleep early yesterday climbed into the back of an ambulance, only to discover that there was a crew inside, police said.
Now Nathaniel Jacques, 25, has a place to spend the night - Middleton Jail, where he's being held on $2,000 cash bail.
Jacques, who was already out on bail in a drunken-driving case from last May, is facing charges of breaking and entering and disorderly conduct, the latter the result of a scuffle with police.
It was just after midnight when Jacques spotted an ambulance parked outside Northshore Ambulance on Grove Street and, said prosecutor Lisa Core, climbed in the back.
Once inside, he looked and saw two employees sitting in the front of the ambulance, so he jumped out, Core told a Salem District Court judge.
He ran down the street and eventually jumped into the cab of a pickup truck parked nearby. But when one of the emergency medical technicians caught up with Jacques, he jumped out again and ran off, making an obscene gesture toward the ambulance as he fled.
Police eventually found him asleep on the grass at Leslie's Retreat Park near Flint Street. When they woke him up, he was "combative," and got into a scuffle with officers.
Defense lawyer John Morris said his client was simply drunk and tired and wanted to go to sleep - and eventually did find a spot on the grass, until the police woke him up. Jacques is due back in court on Nov. 29, when he is set to stand trial in the earlier drunken-driving case.
