CA Man Helps Save Trapped Family, Gets $143 Bill
ELK GROVE -- A man who helped a family trapped a crash got a bill in the mail for his unselfish act.
Paramedics sent him the first-responder fee of nearly $150 after he says they only checked his pulse and gave him a bottle of water, reports CBS Sacramento.
A photo shows the aftermath of the scary rollover crash that trapped a man and his three children trapped inside.
Derrick Deanda jumped into action and recount- ed the heart-pounding moment.
"I pulled up right as it happened," he said. "There was a guy stand- ing inside the van, because it was on its side, holding a 2 year- old infant."
Deanda broke the glass to free the family before paramedics arrived. Everyone was okay.
But weeks later Deanda got a bill in the mail from the Cosumnes Community Services District with a $143 first- responder fee.
Deputy Chief Mike McLaughlin says his dis- trict billed the good Samaritan.
"We're obligated to pro-
vide the same level of service, the same billing the same everything, for every patient we encounter," he said.
Deanda became a patient, he says, when a paramedic at the scene checked him out after breaking the van window to help save the family inside. Deanda had a small cut.
"This is truly a unique situation," he said. "In my 28 years, this is my
first time I've run into a situation similar to this."
The district began implementing the fee two years ago in a move it says prevents fire station brownouts.
But in this case, McLaughlin says he'd like to see the fee waived.
"There is a mecha- nism for appealing this. a mechanism for making this right. Our
desire it to make it right," he said.
But for now, this heroic act deserving of a medal has Deanda facing a bill.
"I mean why would I want to stop to help somebody if I'm going to get a bill for $150?" he said.
Deanda plans to appeal and hopes the matter is resolved before it goes to collections.

Candidate For Congress Creates “Make America White Again” Billboard
POLK COUNTY, Tenn. (WVLT) -- An East Tennessee political hopeful is getting back- lash for his campaign billboard that says "Make America White Again.”
Rick Tyler is responsible for the sign. He's run- ning as an independent candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives.
"I don't know how many millions of us there are, but I believe there are a lot of us. We believe that was a better America than the America we're living in today,” Tyler said.
Tyler said the message is inspired by Donald Trump's campaign. But the sign, along
Highway 411 in Polk County, has since been taken down. The political hopeful's website also has some controversial pictures, like the White House sur- rounded by confederate flags.
"Do you have a prefer- ence for your own racial family like many Mexican people clearly do, and many black people and people of other ethnicity? Well, certainly,” Tyler said.
The area Kiwanis Club said they're not going to hold their meetings at Tyler's restaurant any- more. Several of his cus- tomers also condemned the sign.
