Paramedic Accused Of Masturbating, Urinating On Items At Fire Station: Reports
A medic was accused of masturbating and urinating on belongings at a Baltimore County firehouse, reports said. A deep cleaning is underway.

BALTIMORE COUNTY, MD — A Baltimore County paramedic was accused of masturbating at a firehouse, potentially soiling coworkers' food and belongings, and uploading pornographic videos of the acts to subscriber-only websites, reports said Thursday.
Sources familiar with the investigation told The Baltimore Banner that there are screenshots of thumbnails from the videos showing masturbation and urination on fire equipment, food items and iceboxes. The medic is accused of posting videos of those acts to OnlyFans and free social media pages, The Banner reported.
Officials have not identified the paramedic or publicly stated which station they are assigned to. Baltimore County Fire Chief Joseph Dixon has said an investigation is underway, and the employee is not at work.

“While the science indicates very little risk, the comfort and peace of mind of our team is more valuable,” Dixon wrote in a Wednesday email to staff that The Baltimore Sun obtained.
The Sun reported that the videos posted online have since been deleted, but the newspaper found the clips using the Internet Archive’s Wayback Machine.

The videos' captions claim the clips show ejaculate and urine being deposited “at work” in his “coworkers Lemonade,” “coworkers dressing” and his “jobs ranch.” The Sun said other captions allege that a man used his “coworkers Chapstick” and a “stranger’s toothbrush at work” for sex acts.
The Sun said it's unclear if any colleagues could have ingested the bodily fluids. The Baltimore County Fire Department ordered a hazardous materials cleaning at its Towson headquarters and its 25 career stations.
Counseling and health testing are also available, The Sun reported, adding that the department is replacing the ice machines at its career stations.
“If these allegations are true, it’s one of the most disgusting episodes I’ve heard about since becoming a councilman 15 years ago,” County Council Member David Marks (R-Upper Falls) told The Banner.
