Ambulance Payment Bill Now Law
By SfciiM Malthns
Fines and possible jail terms are
now in effect for Hoke County
residents who do not pay am
bulance serv ice bills.
The new enforcement pro
cedures are a result of a bill that
was passed by the North Carolina
General Assembly last week.
The bill, presented by District 16
Rep. Daniel H. DeYane in
January, excludes those people
who are financially unable to pay
their bills, but makes it a misde
meanor to call for ambulance ser
vice without intending to pay for
it.
Those found guilty of obtaining
ambulance services with no inten
tion of paying can be fined up to
S500 and imprisoned for up to six
months. County Attorney Duncan
McFadyen said.
The new Uw also makes it an of
fense to request an ambulance
when one is not needed Those
conxvted of that offense could

receive a $50 fine and a 30-day jail
sentence.
The new laws enforcement will
probably start with the Hoke Am
bulance Service and the swearing
out warrants against those who
commit one of the offenses.
Once the warrants are sworn
out, the cases will be handle by the
district attorney's office, McFa
dyen said.
The district's attorney's office
will do its part in enforcing this law
by prosecuting all those sent to our
office. Assistant District Attorney
Jean Powell said.
The only foreseeable problem
with enforcing the bill seems to be
proving a person did not intend to
pay for the services when they were
rendered.
Powell had not seen the bill and
said she could not comment fur
ther.
This new law will give the Am
bulance Service "another tool" to
assist them in collections. McFa
dyen said.

Henley: 'Taxpayers Covered'
By SAnij Matthews *
Hoke County taxpayer* will
come out ahead m the one-car acci
dent that left a county \ etude
demolished last week. Hoke Coun
ty Ambulance Service owner Jim
Henley said.
The taxpayers will benefit from
this accident because the county
was named as the benefactor of the
insurance policy on the car. Henley
said.
The car. which was a former
sherifPs department vehicle leased
to Henley for a 30-day period by
the County Commissioners about
a month ago for emergency use on
ly. was demolished early last Tues
day morning after it collided with a
utility pole.
The 30-day period ended Thurs
day. two days after the accident.
Although the car was leased to
him by the county . Henley said he
paid for the insurance, gasoline
and maintenance of the car.
His use of the vehicle did not
cost the taxpayers anything.
Henley said.
James Martin, county manager,
said only that he was glad the
county commissioners had re
quested Henley get insurance for
the car.
The county intends to process
the claim through Henley's in
surance company. Martin aid.
Henley received the vehicle in
January to use for "emergency
purposes only" as part of a
renegotiated contract with the
county.
Although the ambulance service
owner said he was "just riding
around*' at the time of the acci
dent. Henley's actions do not seem
to violate a recently signed agree
ment made with the county, of
ficials say.
Henley was apparently on duty
at the time of the accident.
Henley said he works seven days
a week. 24 hours a day and
whenever he takes a break he must
be in radio contact.
The county vehicle had a radio,
and Henley said he was "just
riding around before heading
home" when the accident occur
red.
The wreck happened as Henley
was traveling north on highwav
401
A car heading south with its
bright lights on weaved toward the
center line. Henley said.
In order to truss the car. Henley
swerved toward the other sade oil'
the road, hit some water and
hydroplaned into twxs utility poles,
lie said.
After the accident, Henley said
his head was bleeding heavily, and
he thought his leg mas broken.
Two cars passed after the acci
dent. but neither stopped, he add
ed.
"If the radio hadn't worked. 1
might have been there all night."
he said.
Henley said that he frequently
drives around in the car w hen tak
ing a break so that he mill be in
radio contact and Tuesday mas no
exception.
Hoke ambulance drivers are also
allomed to use the ambulances to
run personal errands mhen on duly
just in case they have to respond in
a hurry. Henley said.
As for another car. Henley said
the service mould not need one
because earher this meek another
full time Intermediate Trained
Emergency Medical Technician j
joined the staff.
This new addition to the staff
mill bring the Hoke Ambulance
Service up to full strength. Henley
said.
Everything is operating "nice
and smooth, and me're mithin the
new budget," he said.
