Police said an intoxicated 32-year-old man was arrested Wednesday night after pushing a paramedic who was trying to help the man's intoxicated father, who was found lying in a snowbank.
Robert A. Nelson was tentatively charged with disorderly conduct and resisting an officer following the incident, which occurred about 11:30 p.m. Tuesday in the 4800 block of Ellestad Drive on the city's southeast side, near the intersection of the Beltline and Stoughton Road.
Madison police said the 911 communications center received a call from a man saying he couldn't breathe, was drunk and had been trying to walk home.
According to police:
Paramedics and police were helping the unidentified father when Robert Nelson arrived on the scene, demanding to know what was happening. He was told to step back from the paramedics but reportedly didn't comply and pushed one of the EMTs.
While officers were attempting to handcuff Nelson, he resisted arrest, but was eventually taken to the public safety building's jail, police said.
His father didn't need medical attention and was taken home.
