What the hell is going on in Polk County, Florida?
Joshua Colon, 31, was arrested Monday by the Polk County Sheriff’s Office after confessing to intentionally stealing three doses of Moderna vaccine then forging paperwork in attempt to cover his actions, according to the Sheriff’s Office.
. . .
According to Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd, Colon said he stole the vaccines earlier this month at the request of his supervisor, Capt. Tony Damiano, who sought the vaccine for his elderly mother.
The Sheriff’s Office said the paramedic at first refused, but he told investigators that Damiano threatened to inform those higher in chain of command that Colon was selling the vaccines outside of work.

Damiano, a 17-year veteran, is under investigation. He was deployed to California to aid in the pandemic response as a member of the National Disaster Medical System. Judd said he expected to arrest Damiano upon his return home, possibly later Tuesday.
