Florida Ambulance Association has recently become aware of baseless Facebook and “prank” news site allegations of arrest leveled against Mr. Mark Postma, Chief Operating Officer of Sunstar Paramedics in Largo, Florida.

These scurrilous claims were posted to social media in the form of a fake news story created by a former employee. Mr. Postma and Sunstar Paramedics have requested the post’s immediate removal from Facebook as well as Channel 23 News, a “prank” news site. Additionally, the Pinellas County Sheriff’s Department has been investigating the defamatory posting.
