PUTNAM COUNTY, Ind. --

State police are searching for a medical worker accused of inappropriately touching a woman in an ambulance.

The 26-year-old woman told police she was alone with EMT Jason A. Jordan, 27, in the back of a Trans Care ambulance while she was being transported from St. Vincent Clay Hospital in Brazil to St. Vincent Hospital in Indianapolis on July 12.

The woman said Jordan touched her inappropriately and then forwarded several personal photos from her cell phone without her consent.

"The EMT in the back attending to her allegedly touched her in private places and then took her cell phone and removed six pictures of her personal use and sent them allegedly to his phone," said state police Sgt. Joe Watts.

Police have issued a warrant for Jordan's arrest on preliminary charges of sexual battery and theft, but said they believe he has fled the state.

Investigators said Jordan, who lives in Terre Haute, may be with his wife, Jamie Lea Jordan, 22, and that the couple may be in a maroon 2004 Ford Taurus, Indiana license plate No. ZP5542 or a gray 2006 Ford Mustang with Indiana license plate number RQ3582.

Calls to Trans Care were not returned Friday night.

"It's sad to see when someone who's assisting to save lives perhaps is allegedly involved in something like this," Watts said. "We want to feel secure, especially in the medical field. You want to feel safe and secure."

Anyone with information is asked to contact Indiana State Police at Putnamville at 812-299-1151.
