Prior to EMS arrival, police officers had found the individual and thought him to be intoxicated and unresponsive, but never took a Field Sobriety Test, nor was a blood sample taken from the individual. The plaintiffs claim they followed protocol and because the individual refused medical assistance, they transported him to his home. However, Murray suspended the plaintiffs on that same night, claiming they had breached protocol and policies, according to the suit, and then terminated their employment on Feb. 28, 2011. The plaintiffs are seeking compensatory and punitive damages with pre-judgment interest.
