A Theta Chi cook lost consciousness yesterday afternoon, requiring emergency assistance, the IU Police Department reported.\nA call to central dispatch at 4:13 p.m. reported that Teresa Arnold was not breathing and did not have a pulse, said IUPD Cpt. Jerry Minger.\nFour IUPD officers responded to the fraternity house, at 1440 N. Jordan Ave, immediately beginning CPR on Arnold, who was lying on the kitchen floor, Minger said. When this action did not revive Arnold, a defibrillator was obtained.\nArnold was shocked twice before Bloomington Fire Rescue and Bloomington Hospital Ambulance Service arrived to take over aid. After about 25 minutes Arnold regained her pulse and was transported to Bloomington Hospital, Minger said.\n“Without the immediate intervention (of) Officers Wise, Teter, and Henry equipped with the (defibrillator), the immediate outcome would most likely have been different,” Minger said in a press release.\nPrior to the incident, Arnold had complained of a severe “hot flash,” Minger said. Arnold is the wife of Bloomington firefighter Roger Arnold.
