TOWN OF WAPPINGER – 34-year-old Mobile Life Support Services (MLSS) paramedic Brandon Selleck has been arrested by New York State Police for pointing a handgun at the victim during a domestic dispute.
The Troopers say that on July 7, just before 1:00 am, Selleck was involved in a domestic dispute in Wappingers Falls, leading the other party to report it to police.
Several hours later, at 12:30 pm, Troopers arrested Selleck at work at the Mobile Life ambulance station in Buchanan. The paramedic was charged with felony Criminal Possession of a Weapon and the misdemeanors of Menacing with a Weapon and Criminal Possession of a Controlled Substance. He was released on his own recognizance.
Selleck’s charge of possession of a controlled substance is because he had prescription amphetamines without a valid prescription.
Selleck’s coworkers are angered that Mobile Life allowed him to return to work the following day. “He pointed a gun during an argument. That’s frightening,” said a fellow MLSS paramedic. A second medic added “To make it worse, he supposedly had illegal amphetamines. If he is using drugs and is capable of pointing a pistol at another person, we don’t feel safe around him.” The coworkers asked to have their identities withheld for fear of retaliation by Selleck.
