CHULA VISTA (CBS 8) Officials from both the California Highway Patrol and Chula Vista Fire Department Wednesday responded to an incident that left a firefighter in handcuffs at an accident site in the South Bay.
CBS News 8 cameras were rolling around 9:00 p.m. Tuesday when the two got into a dispute over where the fire engine should park while firefighters were responding to the crash that happened north on I-805 between Telegraph Canyon Road and East Orange Avenue.
According to officials, the officer told firefighters to move three fire engines from the fast lane, and two complied, but one firefighter refused that request and continued giving aid to the crash victims.
Exclusive video from CBS News 8 shows the CHP officer cuffing the firefighter, identified as Jacob Gregoire, 36, at the scene of the accident. In the background, other fire crews and officers can be seen tending to the victims of the rollover accident.

Looks like a case of contempt of cop, oh wait, that isn't illegal. Middle of stabilizing patients and he has to arrest him for blocking traffic from hitting the victims and rescue crews? I really want to respect police officers, but it is getting harder. Civil suit for his 100k yearly pension retirement benefits would warm my heart.
