McLean, VA–The American Ambulance Association has recently become aware of baseless Facebook and “prank” news site allegations of arrest leveled against our President, Mr. Mark Postma. Mr. Postma is 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.
Mr. Postma and Sunstar Paramedics have the full support of the American Ambulance Association as they take all steps necessary to delete this libelous story and defend Mr. Postma’s sterling reputation.
