Colon gave three different names when asked about the incomplete and missing forms. When an investigation took place, it was discovered that two of the names belonged to existing firefighters who did not receive the vaccine and one was a person who did not exist.
The paramedic resigned on Jan. 22. Deputies questioned Colon on Jan. 25, and it was then that he told them that the supervisor told him to report some vaccines as waste because he wanted to procure them for his mother. When he refused his supervisor’s demands, he claimed that the supervisor threatened to tell higher-ups that Colon sold vaccines outside work.
Colon told the deputies that during the incident, his supervisor ordered him to go on a lunch break and when he returned, he noticed three vaccines missing. He said he did not question his supervisor, but was suspicious. When Colon was asked for documents, he decided to complete the forms with fictitious names, email addresses and phone numbers.
The paramedic was charged with counts of forgery, uttering forged instrument, falsifying medical records, official misconduct, criminal use of personal ID and creating fictional personal ID. Colon was released from custody after posting bond. Investigation was ongoing and seeking to find out the role of the supervisor in the stealing of the vaccines. /
