A resident of Clayton Villas in the Village of Lynnhaven is being held on $20,000 bond following his arrest at The Villages Regional Hospital.
Sumter County sheriff’s deputies were called at 1:21 a.m. Wednesday to the hospital where 56-year-old Arthur H. Robb of Allagash Avenue was attempting to chew off restraints on a medical stretcher. In the process he attempted to bite a nurse and spit on another, according to the arrest report. When medical personnel had attempted to move him from the ambulance stretcher to a hospital stretcher, Rob allegedly dug a fingernail into the wrist of one of the nurses, breaking the skin. Robb had been kicking and attempting to bite the hands of hospital staff.
He had also pulled an IV from his arm and attempted to squirt blood at the staff, the arrest report indicated.
Robb is facing four felony counts of battery on an officer/firefighter/EMT.
