Firefighter in hot water over theft of Covid-19 vaccine

February 13, 2021 - A St. Petersburg Police Department investigation this week revealed that a city firefighter stole a dose of Covid-19 vaccine. According to a news release, St. Petersburg Fire Rescue Lt. Duane Zagorsky, a 15-year veteran of the fire department, was eligible to receive one dose of the vaccine in January but took two so he could give one to a family member. Zagorsky, the release stated, could be charged with misdemeanor petit theft if he does not complete the Pinellas County Adult Pre-Arrest Diversion Program. An internal investigation is also under way and could result in additional disciplinary measures for Zagorsky.
