Man gets 7-year term for injuring paramedic

By ELIZABETH CAMPBELLStar-Telegram Staff Writer

Paramedic Donnie Stone is lucky to be alive.

On Valentine's Day last year, he was returning to the station near

Azle in County when he was struck in the head by a jack that

was hurled into oncoming traffic on Farm Road 730.

Stone was sitting in the passenger seat of an ambulance when the jack

went through the windshield. He suffered a skull fracture, assistant

district attorney Jeff Swain said.

Stone missed a month of work because of the injury and still bears a

three-inch scar.

On Tuesday, Lawson Cotton, 19, of Azle was sentenced to seven

years in prison on an aggravated assault charge after reaching a plea

agreement in County's 43rd District Court.

" We felt that while this young man nearly had a clean criminal

record, his actions were so dangerous and nearly deadly that he

deserved to go to prison, " Swain said.

It is unclear why Cotton threw the jack into oncoming

traffic. " Earlier that day, he broke a window in his father's car, "

Swain said. " Something set him off. "

Stone said he was writing a report on his laptop computer after going

on a medical call when he felt something hit his head.

" I was looking down, doing my report. The next thing I know is that I

can't see anything. I came to and saw blood covering my face.

Stone said he never lost consciousness completely.

A plastic surgeon sewed up the wound with " hundreds of stitches, " he

said.

He suffered from terrible headaches for about two weeks, and was off

work for a month out of concern that he could be injured because of

his demanding job.

Stone was working the last shift of his part-time job with Lifecare

EMS in County when he was hit.

Donnie-

Glad to hear you have mended up and this guy is out of circulation. Hopefully

he learns something from the experience.

" A prudent man foresees the difficulties ahead and prepares for them; the

simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences. " Proverbs 22:3

Sorry you had to through such an experience Donnie. I'm relieved that

justice was done. I actually just heard about the outcome today from

my connection. I hope you're feeling better.

Thanks for your comments...Check out this website when you get a

chance. It is from County's public judicial records website.

It gives information on his case and actually shows an updated

mugshot. I think more counties need to have judicial records this

easily available to the public!
