DENVER (KDVR) A Colorado emergency medical technician was indicted by a grand jury after he allegedly provided unlicensed medical care to over 100 patients.

On Wednesday, Attorney General Phil Weiser said the statewide grand jury indicted Lauren Wilson, 53, after he allegedly falsely claimed to be a certified paramedic and practiced medicine without a license.

According to the indictment on May 1, the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment issued Wilson a paramedic certificate in 2009 but later found Wilson’s criminal history under a different spelling of his name in 2011. Before the department could complete the revocation process, Wilson’s certificate expired in 2012, which was the last time he was certified and licensed to provide medical care.

While the indictment said Wilson couldn’t practice medical care since 2012, the department found out that Wilson was reportedly working as an uncertified paramedic in 2022 at an ambulance company, allegedly providing unauthorized care to over 100 patients.

This includes being the only paramedic transporting nursing home patients in critical condition to the hospital and making the decision to transport patients against their will, according to the indictment.

The investigation found that Wilson allegedly reapplied for a paramedic certification in September 2022 and reportedly falsified his birthday and criminal history in his application and background report.

Wilson was employed with medical services companies in 2021 and 2022 after he allegedly said he was a certified paramedic and submitted a forged Colorado driver’s license with a different birth date.

Wilson was indicted on one count of attempting to influence a public servant, two counts of forgery of a government issued document and five counts of unauthorized practice of medicine while fraudulently representing to be a certified professional. 

Wilson was arrested on May 29 and released from the Aurora Municipal Detention Center on a $50,000 bond.

“In Colorado, fraudulently representing oneself as a certified medical professional is a crime. It’s also illegal to submit false information to obtain state certification. We are committed to holding accountable those who engage in this harmful conduct and protecting victims and their health care,” said Weiser.

The case is being prosecuted in Arapahoe County District Court.
