    DETROIT -- A Detroit paramedic says he is in trouble for breaking the rules. His offense? Giving a cold man a blanket.

    Top brass tell us employees must have permission to hand out "department property", but that blanket was one of many donated to the department to help people in need.

    Ladies and gentlemen, this might be the most ridiculous and bone-headed Detroit ambulance story yet. It started two weeks ago when a house caught on fire. An old cripple man lived inside. They brought him outside. He was in his underwear. It was cold. He was shivering. You give him a blanket, right? Right. Then guess what happened?

    "I'm being punished for giving a man a blanket," said paramedic Jeff Gaglio.


  2. RAMAPO — Cerbie, a 2-year-old police K-9, died Tuesday morning, the town said in a statement.

    Cerbie had been placed in the Musbro Kennels in Orangeburg since Saturday while his handler, Ramapo Police Officer Andrew Sanchez, was out of town.

    The cause of Cerbie’s death was not clear. A veterinarian will examine his body to determine why he died.

    Cerbie had been with the Ramapo police since March 2011.

    The dog graduated from the Orange County K9 Academy in July 2011 after a 16-week training course and was used for narcotics detection and for tracking.

    He was also very friendly in the community policing setting, according to the statement, and great with children.

    The Ramapo Police Department said it plans to have a remembrance ceremony for Cerbie.

    Details weren’t immediately available.
