Grand jury indictments have been issued against Dr. Sandra Schwemmer and Andrea Thompson
Grand jury indictments have been issued against Dr. Sandra Schwemmer and Andrea Thompson in Monroe County, Florida. Dr. Schwemmer, the Medical Director of Monroe County Fire Rescue and Trauma Star, has been charged with three counts: one count of official misconduct, one count of providing false information to law enforcement, and one count of altering patient records. Bond for Dr. Schwemmer has been set at $100,000.
Andrea Thompson, Division Chief of EMS & Trauma Star, faces a total of nine counts. These include two counts of official misconduct, one count of providing false information to law enforcement, two counts of tampering with physical evidence, three counts of tampering with witnesses, and one count of altering patient records. Bond for Thompson has been set at $250,000.
The bonds for both individuals were set and signed by Judge Mark Wilson.
These latest indictments follow the grand jury’s decision last week to indict Lynda Rusinowski, the former Chief Flight Nurse for Monroe County Fire Rescue involved in related misconduct within the same department. The swift succession of these legal actions underscores the ongoing commitment of the Monroe County State Attorney’s Office to address breaches of public trust and ensure accountability among those entrusted with public safety.
State Attorney Dennis Ward emphasized the seriousness of the charges, stating, “This case, along with last week’s indictment, underscores our commitment to holding public servants accountable for their actions. The charges against Dr. Sandra Schwemmer and Andrea Thompson reflect serious violations of public trust, and our office will pursue justice with the full weight of the law. No one is above the law, especially those entrusted with public safety and the welfare of our community.”
