Assault

NarrativeOn 07/07/2012, I, Officer J. Moore, was dispatched to BCH Balsam (1100 Balsam) reference a male who wascausing a disturbance. I was further informed that this male was located in the ICU. Upon arrival, I was pointed toroom 113 in the ICU, where I saw the suspect (Eric Cech) secured by his wrists and chest to the bed.

I spoke with the victim (Kevin Butler), who told me the following:

The patient had been repeatedly demanding a cigarette and he repeated informed the patient that he could notsmoke per hospital policy. The patient had been manipulative and demanding but not aggressive to this point. Thepatient voided in the urinal and when I entered the room the take the urinal to empty, the patient threw the urinal

(with approximately 500 ml of urinal) at my head. The patient then attempted to punch at me at least twice,missing both times. The patient was physically subdued and restrained by me, fellow ICU staff and hospitalsecurity. I did receive a small amount of urine in my mouth and right eye and a large amount of urine on my (right)face and down my shirt.

I asked Kevin if Eric said anything before, during, or after the assaults. Kevin said that he continued to demand tosmoke. Kevin also said that when he entered the room, he observed Eric pop the top to the urinal, which gave him(Kevin) an idea of what was about to happen. Kevin was able to turn sideways in time to avoid the urine hitting

the front of his face. He does not know where the urinal itself hit, but it did not hit him.

Kevin stated that when Eric tried to punch him, he was secured via a chest strap to the bed. This strap preventedEric from sitting up and getting close enough to strike Kevin. Once Eric "calmed down," Kevin stepped closer andwas able to place wrist restraints on him.

All the urine had dried prior to my arrival and the room had been cleaned. Kevin stated that the urine was thrownat him approximately 15 minutes prior to my arrival. Kevin also said that he was wearing two layers of shirts, theouter (scrub) layer was light blue with an orange under shirt. He was also wearing grey (scrub) pants. He used atowel to dry off most of the excess urine prior to my arrival. When asked, Eric denied throwing urine at Kevin.While there was hospital staff nearby, no one else saw the throwing of the urinal.

It should be noted that, prior to the incident, Kevin was dressed in scrubs and had on his ID badge, identifying himas an RN, making it readily apparent that he was a medical personel. Kevin stated that he was Eric's RN since

approximately 1900 hours. He added that he always introduces himself (name and title) when beginning his shiftwith a patient.

I also spoke with Judy March, who also works in the ICU. She stated that while she did not see the urine thrown atKevin, she did witness the aftermath. She verified that Kevin's shirt was wet with urine, but added that the urine

did not turn the shirt a very dark color that normally indicates wetness. She also smelled the urine on Kevin as welas in the room. She saw urine all over the floor leading towards the doorway as well as on the cabnets. Thecabnets are located to the right, when entering the room, and are between the headboard and the doorway.

Upon the issuance of the summons, Eric was both restrained (wrists) and sedated. He was unable to sign thesummons. This was noted on the summons, and a copy was placed with his personal belongings.

Status:Cleared with a summons (CR92381)

I told Cech the charge and the court datefor which he signed for and I gave him his copy of Citation CR-92381.
