Dan Carscallen is under investigation for battery stemming from an argument Sunday with a former volunteer at Gritman Medical Center regarding department policy.</div> <div>Latah County Sheriff's Lt. Brannon Jordan said his department received the battery report from Benjamin Dill, 24, following the altercation at the emergency loading dock of the hospital, where he claimed Carscallen, 43, had grabbed him by the arm.</div> <div> <div>Carscallen said he approached Dill at the hospital after learning the former ambulance volunteer had been riding in an ambulance with a current member responding to a medical call at Walmart without department clearance, which included paperwork regarding patient confidentiality guaranteed through the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.</div> </div> <div> <div>"He didn't want to hear any more from me and he started walking away," said Carscallen. "I took hold of him on his coat, on his arm. He asked me to let him go and apparently I didn't let him go fast enough. ... I was acting in my capacity as the ambulance first lieutenant. I guess if that's what somebody considers an assault, that's their deal."</div> </div> <div> <div>Jordan said there were no witnesses at the time of the alleged battery, but part of the continuing investigation will involve recovery of security video recordings from Gritman. The report will then be forwarded to the county prosecutor's office for consideration of potential charges.</div> </div> <div> <div>Prosecutor Bill Thompson said he expects the report to be completed quickly, as will his office's handling of it.</div></div> <div> <div>"I think that's to everyone's interest," he said. "We don't have the details at this point as to what occurred."</div></div> <div> <div>Fire Chief Ed Button said Carscallen will not face administrative or disciplinary action.</div></div> <div> <div>"The issue of assault to me doesn't really hold true or ring true," said Button. "All he was trying to do is have Ben comply with the permission slip needed to be in the vehicle. ... We could have done that retroactively."</div> </div> <div> <div>Carscallen, who is also Moscow City Council president, said it is unfortunate the altercation has resulted in an investigation.</div></div> <div> <div>"I just didn't want to make anymore of it than it was," he said. "I'm afraid it's going to embarrass him even more than me."</div></div></span> <div><br></div> <div>---------------</div> <div><br></div> <div>This is the Dan "Area Man" Carscallen with which I am familiar.</div> <div><br></div><span><image.jpeg></span> <div><br></div> <div>Christmas 2010</div> <div><span><a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cc1U8kwqsCo" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cc1U8kwqsCo</a></span></div> <div> <div><span> </span></div><span>--------------------------------</span> <div><br> <div>Seeya later, Moscow.</div> <div><br></div> <div>Tom Hansen</div> <div>Post Falls, Idaho</div> <div><br></div> <div>"If not us, who?</div> <div>If not now, when?"</div> <div><br></div> <div>- Unknown</div> <div><br></div> <div><br></div></div></div><br>======================================================= List services made available by First Step Internet, serving the communities of the Palouse since 1994. <a href="http://www.fsr.net" target="_blank">http://www.fsr.net</a> mailto:<a href="mailto:Vision2020@moscow.com" target="_blank">Vision2020@moscow.com</a> =======================================================</div> </div></div></div></div></div><div><div class="h5"><br>=======================================================<br>List services made available by First Step Internet,<br>serving the communities of the Palouse since 1994.<br> <a href="http://www.fsr.net/" target="_blank">http://www.fsr.net</a><br> mailto:<a href="mailto:Vision2020@moscow.com" target="_blank">Vision2020@moscow.com</a><br>=======================================================<br> <br></div></div></div></div></div></div><br>=======================================================<br> List services made available by First Step Internet,<br> serving the communities of the Palouse since 1994.<br> <a href="http://www.fsr.net" target="_blank">http://www.fsr.net</a><br> mailto:<a href="mailto:Vision2020@moscow.com">Vision2020@moscow.com</a><br> =======================================================<br></blockquote></div><br><br clear="all"><br>-- <br>Art Deco (Wayne A.
