Cop Handcuffs Doctor On Way to Deliver Baby

FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) — A police officer who stopped a doctor for speeding on his way to deliver a baby — and then took him to the maternity ward in handcuffs —has agreed to an unpaid suspension for lack of judgment.

Dr. Anthony Chidiac was driving his motorcycle 10 miles above the 25 mph speed limit last March when he was stopped by 15-year veteran Officer William Lilliston.

According to records released Monday from an internal police investigation, when the doctor explained he was going to a delivery, the officer allegedly asked if he was delivering a pizza and later said, "If you're a doctor, I'm Mickey Mouse or Joe Blow."

Lilliston called the hospital to confirm Chidiac's story, and drove him to the hospital as the baby's head was showing. The officer then asked to see the doctor's driver's license before letting Chidiac change into scrubs.

Chidiac delivered the baby 15 minutes after the handcuffs were removed.

The officer, who said the doctor had been slow in pulling over, later wrote Chidiac a traffic citation.

This cracks me up. Like a sequence from Me Myself & Irene. For a 15yr vet to take things that far, the guy must have been having a royal shitter of a day.

Maybe so. But a lot of times attitude has something to do with it. If this doctor came off as irate, smug and superior, he may have gotten what he deserved.

haha, you mean "when the doctore came off...". j/k. he probably was pretty annoyed though, since the baby was obviously comin' out whether he was there or not...So he was in a hurry, then this damn pig pulls him over. I would be frustrated too.
I think putting him in handcuffs is a little excessive though...

Handcuffs. HANDCUFFS?? It's a speeding ticket, not a drug bust!!!

I agree. But these good ole boys are only human. there are a number of boors that i would have loved to have cuff up for their behaviour in the past... Unfortunately I didn't have the mandate to do so.

Having been an expectant parent and waiting on the doctor to arrive I can say I'm impressed that the parents of the child waiting for the doctor didn't KILL the officer! I mean only human is one thing, but once he found out that he's really a doctor, why the HELL was he delaying his arrival at the hospital? What if something was wrong? This type of behavior is inexcusable, regardless of how bad his day may have been. He's supposed to be an officer, not an egotistical bully!

Yup. So much for "to protect and serve."
