FLORIDA FIREFIGHTER ATTEMPTS TO POISON HIS
LIEUTENANT
LIEUTENANT
Titusville Firefighter Lieutenant Phil Jones discovered a
substance in his canteen on Thursday February 10th, 2012, and it smelled like a
petroleum-based solvent. Lt. Jones notified his supervisors and the Titusville
Police Department was notified.
substance in his canteen on Thursday February 10th, 2012, and it smelled like a
petroleum-based solvent. Lt. Jones notified his supervisors and the Titusville
Police Department was notified.
The substance was tentatively determined to be “gunk”
(aerosol cleaning substance) a substance clearly labeled DANGEROUS
HARMFUL OR FATAL IF SWALLOWED. During the course of the investigation
and interviews it was determined that the substance was just one more act in a
series of acts targeting the victim over the past six plus months. The
substance is very flammable and could be fatal if swallowed.

It seems that Firefighter/Paramedic Randy Jones admitted to
several of the acts leading up to this incident and other acts committed
against the victim by a fellow Firefighter and to putting the substance in the
canteen with another Firefighter present. He understood the potential
consequences of the substance had it been consumed or ignited. Moore said he
did not want to kill the victim he was just upset over other issues and it went
too far.

The incident occurred at Fire Station 10-the
substance was placed in the Lt’s canteen in his wildland gear bag.
FF Randy Moore was arrested at the Titusville PD at 2:45 P.M. this
afternoon and later booked at the Brevard County Jail. Additional charges
against the other firefighter are being reviewed. TFD has fully
cooperated. BMA.
