According to the Hot Springs Police Department, an Arkansas paramedic was arrested Monday (Nov. 11) for allegedly cutting a 1.7-carat diamond ring from a deceased woman’s finger at a hospital and selling it at a pawnshop.
The Hot Springs Police Department said 50-year-old Lisa Darlene Glaze cut off a single marquis cut diamond ring with a gold band from the hand of Gloria Robinson, who had experienced a medical emergency and was transported Oct. 16 to CHI St. Vincent Hot Springs where she was later pronounced dead.
After her death, Robinson’s personal effects were given to her sister and her husband, who noted three of Robinson’s rings were missing, according to the probable cause affidavit.
The victim’s sister asked a paramedic, later identified as Glaze, where the rings were and Glaze “did not answer her and walked away.”
