Get you up to speed: Man high on monkey dust hijacked ambulance with patient still inside | News UK
Marshall Leese, 32, hijacked an ambulance carrying an elderly patient at Royal Stoke University Hospital in Stoke-on-Trent on March 25, driving through red lights. He has pleaded guilty to several charges, including false imprisonment and aggravated vehicle taking, and was sentenced to 21 months in prison.
Marshall Leese was sentenced to 21 months in prison for his actions, which included false imprisonment and aggravated vehicle taking. The incident occurred on March 25, and the court highlighted that the ambulance was operational due to being left in ‘run lock’ mode, allowing him to drive off with the patient inside.
Officials have expressed grave concern over the incident involving Marshall Leese, particularly regarding the potential risk to a patient requiring urgent medical care. Following Leese’s sentencing to 21 months in prison, there may be calls for a review of ambulance safety protocols to prevent similar occurrences in the future.
What remains unclear — It is not specified how the elderly man in the ambulance is currently recovering after the incident.
Man high on drugs hijacks ambulance with patient inside in Stoke-on-Trent
A man high on drugs hijacked an ambulance with an elderly patient in the back and drove it through red lights, a court has heard.
A ‘terrified’ paramedic asked Marshall Leese, 32, to pull over the emergency vehicle taken from a triage bay outside Royal Stoke University Hospital in Stoke-on-Trent on the evening of March 25.
Leese, who experienced delusions caused by a drug called monkey dust, had been ‘ushered out’ of the driver’s seat of a different ambulance by paramedics moments before he drove off in the second one.
Footage played at Stoke-on-Trent Crown Court showed Leese getting into the Fiat Ducato ambulance and driving away, before he tried to hide from police when he stopped the vehicle at a petrol station in Chesterton, Newcastle-under-Lyme.
Prosecutor Robert Holt said the paramedic thought his colleague, who had the keys to the vehicle, had got back into the driver’s seat before the vehicle started moving.

He then shouted to Leese: ‘Who the f*** are you? You need to pull over, there are people in the back here.’
Mr Holt added: ‘The defendant did not reply or make any effort to pull over the vehicle. The speed being driven at was not significant, but he was going through red lights.’
The court heard that a man in his 80s, who was on blood thinners, was being treated for a head injury in the back of the ambulance.
Mr Holt said: ‘If the ambulance crashed with him on board, there would have been no chance of survival.’
Leese, of Denbigh Street in Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent, pleaded guilty to false imprisonment and aggravated vehicle taking.
He also pleaded guilty to failing to provide a specimen for analysis at Wolverhampton New Cross Hospital and using a motor vehicle without third-party insurance.
Leese was able to drive the ambulance away because it was left on ‘run lock’ mode, which keeps the vehicle running but allows paramedics to remove the keys from the ignition.
He was sentenced to 21 months in prison today.
Jennifer Devans-Tamakloe, defending Leese, said he led an ‘extraordinarily difficult and chaotic lifestyle’, adding: ‘He has been abusing alcohol and drugs for a significant length of time.’
She told the court Leese’s ‘daily use of monkey dust has a negative impact on his mental state’ and caused him to experience delusions and paranoia leading up to the offence.
The court heard that Leese thought he was ‘being controlled’ and ‘receiving coded messages’ which guided him to take the ambulance.
In his sentencing remarks, Recorder Ben Williams KC told the defendant: ‘You continued to drive the ambulance, by my calculations, for more than 20 minutes.
‘You weren’t driving at high speeds, and you were, it’s visible on the footage, exercising a degree of care about other vehicles. But you were driving erratically and going through red lights, therefore putting other people at risk.’
The judge said the paramedic in the ambulance, who was with the elderly man and his carer, was mainly concerned about the patient but ‘described himself as being terrified about the whole situation’.

Get you up to speed: Epstein victim says she was ‘put in danger by associate’ who still runs modelling agency | News World
Roza, a victim of Jeffrey Epstein, alleged that MC2 Model Management and its president, Jeff Fuller, endangered her by sending her to Epstein’s Palm Beach home for photoshoots when she was 18. Fuller denied knowing about her abuse but has not commented on the specific allegations made by Roza.
MC2 Model Management has consistently denied involvement with Jeffrey Epstein, despite evidence that Epstein donated $1,000,000 to the agency in 2005. Authorities had previously indicated that Epstein’s recruitment tactics shifted focus to adult women resembling teenagers following his 2008 conviction.
Jeff Fuller, former president of MC2 Model Management, has not publicly addressed allegations made by Roza regarding the agency’s failure to protect her from Epstein. Following these claims, it has been suggested that MC2 should be held accountable for its role, as Epstein is known to have donated $1,000,000 to the agency in 2005.
What remains unclear — Jeff Fuller has not publicly responded to the specific details of Roza’s allegations regarding her placement at Epstein’s home.

One of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims has come forward and said one of Epstein’s associates ‘repeatedly’ put her in danger.
Roza told the BBC she was only 18 years old when she was sent to Epstein’s home in Palm Beach by MC2 Model Management.
MC2’s US President, Jeff Fuller, ‘knew exactly where’ she was going, Roza said. Fuller denies knowing that she was going to Epstein’s house.
Roza said that after doing multiple photo shoots at Epstein’s home, she was employed as an assistant to the paedophile sex offender.
It was then that Epstein began raping her.

MC2 has continually denied having any involvement with Epstein, but some of the Epstein files showed that he donated $1,000,000 to the modelling agency in 2005.
‘My agency’s job was to protect me, and they failed. In fact, they put me in danger. And for that, they should be held accountable,’ Roza said.
MC2’s former President, Jeff Fuller, now runs another modelling agency called ‘The Source Models’.
Fuller has not addressed Roza’s allegations, and said he did not know she was being abused previously.
Earlier this year, it was revealed that Epstein ‘recruited models who looked like teenagers’ to avoid scrutiny after his 2008 conviction for soliciting sex from a minor.
The dead financier recruited numerous young adult female ‘assistants’ whom he abused through a variety of means, including financially and sexually, and would coerce them into bringing more women into his orbit.

After his controversial 2008 plea deal, which saw him serve just 13 months in an open prison for paying underage girls for sexual services, Epstein shifted his focus to adult women who looked like teenagers—many of them models from Europe and Russia.
Once inside his orbit, the women said they were coerced into performing massages that escalated into sexual demands. Several people said he required at least one such encounter a day, and when no other women were available, he turned to his ‘assistants’.
Former Russian model Svetlana Pozhidaeva said she was one such victim and was lured into Epstein’s world in 2008 after the dead financier said he could arrange an audition with Victoria’s Secret.
This never happened, and Svetlana, who walked on runways for well-known European fashion brands, was instead abused and coerced into recruiting more young women.
‘It’s been hard for me because for many years I’ve been so embarrassed that I wasn’t underage when I met him. I was in my early 20s,’ she told the Wall Street Journal.
‘I kept thinking that I was at fault for putting myself in this situation.’
