Dallas District Attorney Drops Charges Against Mentally Ill Man Kicked Repeatedly by Paramedic


The Dallas County District Attorney’s office has dropped charges against Kyle Vess, whom a fire department paramedic kicked repeatedly on video in August 2019.

Vess, who suffers from mental illness, was charged with assaulting a public servant after the incident. Video appears to show him swing at Dallas Fire-Rescue paramedic Brad Cox. Vess missed, and Cox, who is trained mixed martial artist, kicked him some nine times during one altercation, and then again kicked and punched him.

A week after the Observer released video showing Vess kicked repeatedly that day, Dallas County District Attorney John Creuzot met with George Milner III, Vess' criminal defense attorney. Creuzot told Milner on Monday morning that his office was dropping the charges against his client.

"Kyle Vess and his parents are grateful these charges have finally been dropped," Milner said by email. "This has been a long journey, but Kyle received some measure of justice today. The Dallas District Attorney dismissed the case in the interest of justice. We greatly appreciate Judge Creuzot's decision to do so."

1. The fireman was wearing work boots

and he was a trained MMA fighter. What he did would get him disqualified in an MMA match. I can't believe he wasn't the one charged (well I can believe it but really).
