Man pleads guilty to ethnic intimidation of security guard
Healthcare Security Weekly, September 1, 2008
A Sharon, PA, man pleaded guilty August 19 to ethnic intimidation and disorderly conduct following a July 20 incident in which he threatened a security guard outside the hospital of Sharon Regional Health System, reported The Herald.
Police said the 24-year-old man threatened the security officer and used racial slurs against him. The man pled guilty at a preliminary hearing, in which charges of terroristic threats and harassment were withdrawn, the newspaper reported.
Police were called to the hospital, where they found an unruly man had been discharged. The man was asked to leave the hospital and began yelling obscenities at the guard in the parking lot. Police electronically shocked the man to subdue him.
