Antioch Rescue Squad: 2 members facing discipline
The *Daily Herald* has published a series of articles detailing an ongoing investigation by the Illinois Department of Public Health into the Antioch Rescue Squad. The probe centers around allegations of misconduct involving several EMTs, including the potential loss of their licenses due to serious violations.
State officials have confirmed that two EMTs, Kyle Shouse and Chris McBrady, are under investigation for alleged abuse and mistreatment of both patients and coworkers. The allegations include tampering with medications, unauthorized use of prescription drugs, and inappropriate behavior in the line of duty.
According to reports, Shouse and McBrady are accused of secretly adding prescription medications—such as Lasix, a diuretic, and Benadryl, an antihistamine—to the food and drinks of unsuspecting colleagues during shifts. In some cases, they allegedly administered IV solutions without proper medical authorization, raising serious concerns about patient safety and professional conduct.
Shouse is also facing additional charges, including reporting for work while under the influence of alcohol and mistreating patients. One specific incident involved him striking a psychiatric patient with a clipboard, yelling at another, and unnecessarily restraining a third. These actions have led to calls for stricter oversight within the rescue squad.
McBrady is accused of similar misconduct, including administering medication without consent, falsifying patient care reports, and even throwing a patient’s walker. He is also said to have used profanity toward a patient and refused to transport someone who later suffered from an aneurysm. Such behavior has raised alarms among local residents and health officials alike.
In addition to Shouse and McBrady, a third EMT, Ethan Bolin, is facing disciplinary action for taking a prescription-only IV solution and having another EMT administer it to him. Attempts to contact Bolin for comment were unsuccessful.
While it remains unclear whether the three individuals are still employed by the Antioch Rescue Squad, state officials say they were active members at the time of the alleged misconduct, which reportedly occurred after 2008.
