Plano fire captain suspended for attempting to acquire a fake vaccine card
PLANO, Texas — A captain in Plano’s Fire-Rescue Department was suspended for attempting to illegally buy a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention vaccine card for his unvaccinated wife, according to official city documents.
On the morning of Aug. 4, according to the documents, Captain Richie Floyd approached fellow firefighter Steven Tuck about acquiring an official CDC vaccine card with a lot number, which is required for traveling. Floyd and his wife were planning a trip to New York City, and his wife needed the card in order to attend a Broadway show.
After initially agreeing to illegally acquire a card for Floyd, Tuck instead reported the incident to his captain, who in turn reported the incident to their battalion chief.
Floyd was suspended for 24 hours by the department’s chief, Sam Greif.
“I take full responsibility for my role in this incident,” Floyd said in a written statement obtained by Spectrum News 1. “I apologize for lack of consciousness and lapse of [sic] judgement in this matter, for putting my brother in a situation I should have never put him in, for acting haste, for my lack of moral character, for bringing a stain upon the PFR officer corps and our department. I ask all involved to forgive me for all I have done concerning this matter and the extra work I have created.”

So attempting to break a federal law only warrants a suspension of 24 hours?

At least that can be filed in his permanent record. 
I won't be surprised to see the names appear again. Jokers like this almost always retaliate and that will lead to another personnel action by the fire department.
