Arroyo Grande man stabs EMT in the back
January 9, 2013
An Arroyo Grande man who called 911 to request medical assistance for his elderly mother, became agitated and stabbed an EMT in the back Tuesday evening.
A standoff ensued as Thomas Kadota, 38, took refuge in a home on Left Lane and refused to come out.
San Luis Obispo County Sheriff’s deputies evacuated medical personnel and Kadota’s mother from the area before surrounding the home. After more than five hours, Kadota surrendered.
Kadota is not currently in the SLO County Jail and because of computer issues, the watch commander said he is unaware if any charges were filed against Kadota.
