They could have easily investigated and recorded and simply sent the information along to the AG to decide if an arrest is appropriate.

Anybody in the process could've stepped in so much earlier. Did nobody in the process of taking this guy downtown and booking him in for trial did nobody say "oh shit he was arrested while calling in a medical emergency cut him loose!". This should've been handled long before the lawyers got involved.
