Florida couple arrested after entering Hawaii with fake vaccination cards, officials say

The couple also is accused of falsifying vaccination cards for their children, who were not old enough to be vaccinated.

A Florida couple was arrested last week after authorities say they entered Hawaii using fake vaccination cards to avoid a mandatory quarantine.

Enzo Dalmazzo, 43, and Daniela Dalmazzo, 31, were taken into custody on Aug. 11 after arriving in Honolulu with their two children, according to NBC’s Miami affiliate WTVJ Channel 6.

Now the duo faces charges of falsifying a vaccine document. Court records from Hawaii show Daniela was also charged with two additional counts for allegedly using fake vaccination cards for the couple’s two children.

A bail of $8,000 was paid two days after authorities arrested the couple — $2,000 for each falsified vaccination card charge.

That 20 year old could take it him, & drink a 6 pack on his couch watching a football game.
That doesn't harm any of the rest of us.
These fools put potentially hundreds at risk.
This should be treated more like a DUI.

It probably cost them something, and AT LEAST as much time to fake it than to just get the shots.
And, now they're caught.

It's over until it's next season, unless Hubby is into watching re-run after re-run.

I watched a few of them, but most of the characters were unpalatable rich, entitled white people. I couldn't stand most of them.

I assume that they had to get their lying butts out of Hawaii. I wonder how they explained their failed vacation to their kids.

I have seen news stories about sports events that require vaccination cards and that was the going price at the time. I would think it would just be easier to keep their money and go and get free shots, but it's obvious they don't think rationally.

and never seen anyone attempt to deny the phenomenon.

I guess there are contrarians everywhere, and I just haven't seen that particular brand.

They gotta fly back to Hawaii on court date or forfeit the bail and maybe get a warrant against their asses.



I hope federal prosecution follows.

If they had not offered phony Vax cards for their under-age kids - that was spotted by security! - they would have gotten away with it.

Just a little added expense to their trip.
Judge should have opted for a 6 figure bail.
