Cop Block Contributor Arrested for Medical Condition

Over the last month or so I have been out of work on disability for an unknown illness. I have been to multiple doctors and emergency rooms but have yet to find a definitive answer as to exactly what is wrong. They are considering a few conditions, including  Lupus, some possible strain of hepatitis  (as I do travel to many countries for work)  that is attacking my liver, and a chronic fatigue syndrome, with an unknown cause.

This past Friday I was driving my car home from the airport after dropping a friend off when I started to have an attack, meaning I began to have very blurry vision that was quickly progressing into a blackout. I pulled of the side of the road as quickly and safely as possible but clipped the mirror of another car in the process of doing so. I had just been in the ER 2 days prior for the same symptoms. I can’t recall the amount of time that passed, but  I remember an officer knocking on my window and asking for my license. I was than asked to step out of the vehicle – which after having a seizure is difficult in itself.

I politely refused a field sobriety test at which time I was handcuffed and taken to their DUI processing center. I had my dog in the car and they sent her to the pound. I remember looking through the cell window while still handcuffed and watched the officer hook my cellphone up to a scanner to retrieve its contents. Luckily, my cell is clean so he just has a bunch of pictures of my dog swimming at the beach.

I was then again asked to perform a field sobriety test on video which I also politely declined due to to my health and having a hard time holding consciousness.  About an hour later, I was booked into the county jail for 22 hours. I was able to post bond and from thereon encountered no major obstacles. My biggest complaint with this whole situation is that I should have been taken to the ER. I wasn’t allowed to take my medication, I was having a medical emergency, and I had even been at the ER 2 days previously and multiple specialists over the last month. A blood sugar test and other tests could have easily been performed to establish that this whole incident was neither DUI nor drug related.

After my release, I was finally able to locate the pound to which they had taken my dog, and paid $45 for the  release. My car is being held with a $350 release.  I had to pay$100 to my bond agent for the $500 bail, and $6,000 to retain a lawyer. I now have to go back to the doctor for more medical tests that I cannot afford to find out what is causing this.

I  wanted to share my experience with you. I am sure others have gone through similar experiences and we would love to hear your stories as well.

I did set up a Paypal donation that links to my account that if you had some extra coin can help with my legal and medical fees, and also a bitcoin address if that is more convenient.   Hopefully one day I will be able to return the favor.

I thank you all for your questions and emails sent in and hope my responses have been able to help you each with your unique situations. If  you have a question please feel free to contact me via the Copblocks facebook email or at Rob (at) Copblock.org

Thanks again for the support and I will update this page as the legal process continues, with tips and tricks that my attorney will go through over the next several months to prove this in fact was a medical issue and not one that warranted an arrest .

Best Regards And Thank You for you Support
