Tonight we hear from a woman who saw with her own eyes something many can’t believe happened.

An Oklahoma Highway Patrol trooper who appears to be angry detains an EMS crew in Okfuskee County even putting his hand around a paramedic’s neck.

FOX23’s Abbie Alford spoke to a witness who says she hates what she witnessed.

It was a scene that would have been hard to believe had it not been captured on camera.

FOX23’s Abbie Alford spoke to the paramedic Maurice White who would only say he and his partner were simply doing their job.

But a woman who saw what happened near Prague on Sunday says it was one of the most shocking things she’s ever witnessed.

This was one Memorial Day weekend Diane Walkup will never forget.

What one person caught with his camera phone Diane Walkup saw with her own eyes, "He came running around the back of the ambulance, 'I am going to arrest you for obstruction of justice.' We thought 'good Lord what's happened?'"

In the video the OHP trooper tells the paramedic driving the ambulance Paul Franks, "I've been going hot over here to help the county out over here. You understand?" Franks replies, “Yes, sir. I do.”

As a trooper confronted the ambulance crew an elderly woman was inside the ambulance, needing to be taken to the hospital for heat exhaustion.

The woman’s son shot the video from his cell phone.

The paramedic’s then asked the trooper if they could transport the woman to the hospital and then take care of the incident.

But the trooper wouldn’t budge.
