One Man Rescue Squad Given Court Supervision

A man from Ottawa who has long wanted to start up his own rescue agency will be on court supervision for impersonating an emergency official by illegally using emergency lights.

Ross Radke was given three months court supervision Monday by Judge William Balestri.  Radke was in court after Ottawa Police balked at Radke used flashing red lights on his car during an attempt to help a motorist last June.  At this point, Radke was trying to establish the Ottawa Regional Rescue Agency.

Earlier this year, he began asking the public for donations to his new rescue team attempt called South Ottawa Rescue Squad.  Both Ottawa police and fire say not to donate to Radke.
