SHANNON SIGNORE AND JONATHAN BURKE OF THE RHODE ISLAND ATTORNEY GENERAL’S OFFICE WITHHELD INFORMATION FROM VICTOR COLEBUT FOR MORE THAN 4 YEARS TO ASSIST THE POLICE

RI Pawtucket Police Department Civilian Employee -Dispatcher Michael Fidalgo Never Investigated for Refusing to Send a Rescue and Woman Dies

While the person who dialed RI E-911 and begged and even demanded a medical rescue and help, Victor Colebut, has been unlawfully incarcerated at the Rhode Island Adult Correctional Institute (ACI) Intake Service Center (ISC) in Cranston for more than FOUR (4) Years and SIX (6) Months the dispatcher, Michael Fidalgo, has not been held accountable for his willful disregard for life. Why is that?

As Kristine Ohler lay unresponsive and Victor Colebut cried, begged and demanded help medical assistance and life-saving equipment and transportation to the hospital was just one minute away. Less than a mile away, only 0.3 miles. However, due to Michael Fidalgo’s willful disregard for human life medical assistance and the rescue were delayed for more than 30 minutes. Pawtucket RI dispatcher Michael Fidalgo created an exigent circumstance when he told the Firefighters/EMTs and Rescue to STAGE for police. UPDATE: In 2024 Mr. Colebut received information that the state’s attorney’s (Jonathan Burke and Shannon Signore) withheld from him since 2020 – the Paramedics and Advanced Life Support (ALS) were in Route and canceled by the dispatcher, Michael Fidalgo.

What is a fire “Engine”

A fire engine or fire truck (also spelled firetruck) is a vehicle, usually a specially-designed or modified truck, that functions as a firefighting apparatus. The primary purposes of a fire engine include transporting firefighters and water to an incident as well as carrying equipment for firefighting operations in a fire drill.

What is a fire “truck or aerial”

Aerial apparatus refers to a fire department vehicle that includes an elevating platform or power-operated extension ladder used for ventilation, rescue and accessing upper levels.

What is the Difference between BLS and ALS?

BLS is often the first line of response, and ALS comes into play when more advanced care is required. While both provide life-saving techniques during an emergency, they have key differences, including the level of care, the training required, the equipment used, and the treatment setting. For example, BLS focuses on giving immediate care at the scene in order to stabilize and support life functions through basic techniques like CPR (Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation), rescue breaths, and/or the use of an AED (automated external defibrillator) until help arrives. ALS, on the other hand, requires a higher level of care, like advanced airway management, IV access, medication administration, and advanced cardiac life support. Understand the differences and it is clear that the dispatcher definitely caused an unnecessary delay of proper care and transport to the nearest facility which may have saved Kristine Ohler’s life.

It Took More than 30 Minutes for the Rescue to Arrive and One Hour and Eleven Minutes for Kristine Ohler to Arrive at Miriam Hospital

Victor Colebut dialed RI E911 at 12:27:26 AM and Kristine Ohler arrived at and was admitted to Miriam Hospital at 1:38 AM and she was later pronounced dead. This medical emergency occurred prior to covid19 and it was after midnight so neither the pandemic or traffic had any impact on the delay. If the hospital was less than 3 miles away then why did it take more than an hour and eleven minutes for Kristine Ohler to arrive?

What Motivated Pawtucket Dispatcher’s Willful and Wanton Conduct – Is Michael Fidalgo a Racist Wannabe Detective

Why did the Pawtucket dispatcher handle a medical emergency 911 call as he did? Listen to the 911 call that Victor Colebut made and you clearly hear Fidalgo’s “tough guy” attitude and tone when he is connected to the call. The RI E-911 Call Taker sounded unsure of himself and intimidated by the Pawtucket Fire dispatcher.

If you listen to the complete call and then read an article that Jon Baker published and consider evidence that the state and defense has had in their possession then you get a clearer picture. The circumstantial evidence tells a compelling story that draws a very disturbing conclusion.

Additionally, the Pawtucket Police Department’s Rules and Regulations and policies give a radio dispatcher a lot of power over the patrolmen and patrolwomen who must obey the dispatcher’s orders as if it came from the chief of police.

According to Jon Baker of the PawtucketTimes.com in an article on PressReader dated September 21, 2021 Fidalgo requested RI E911 caller information and that is confidential information. Michael Fidalgo was not a law enforcement officer he was/is a civilian employee of the Pawtucket Police Department. He was not the RI E 911 caller. Did the Pawtucket Fire violate the RI E 911 confidentiality law?

“Dispatcher Michael Fidalgo contacted Pawtucket Fire for the calling party information for each report in an effort to see if it was the same party calling in all of the fires. However, each report was called in by a different person.

Police Dispatcher Michael Fidalgo’s Implicit Biases and Hatred of Certain Groups of People Influenced His Decisions and a Life was Lost

This is extremely important because a civilian police dispatcher, Michael Fidalgo, was, as we see, doing his own investigations on Rhode Island E911 callers – profiling. Mr. Colebut was living at 65 Fountain Street on the 3rd floor in Pawtucket as he stated at least four times during the RI E-911 call that he made on February 17, 2020 which is a three family house – Rhode Island Housing.

It is not an “apartment building” as the police falsely reported. The residents who lived in this house received rental assistance and were members of a protected group of people – they had known histories of homelessness, drug and alcohol addictions and/or mental health issues. It is also a known fact that individuals in these groups more likely than not have some sort of prior arrest records. Domestic Disorderly charges in Rhode Island are out of control.

Michael Fidalgo’s utter disgust and hatred for those individuals more likely than not motivated him to do what he did. The Pawtucket Police Communication dispatcher was, according to police records, profiling 911 callers based on their race, economic circumstances, addictions and gender. As an employee of the Pawtucket Police Department, civilian or otherwise, profiling is a biased police practice. (Update Dec. 12, 2024 Michael Fidalgo is no longer a dispatcher, he is back to food service and is working at a restaurant in East Providence) That does not change the fact that a life was lost in connection to how he handled a RI E 911 call while working as a civilian employee of the Pawtucket Police Department.

Micheal Fidalgo was so busy investigating the 911 medical emergency call and setting up a 911 caller to be arrested that he did not care at all about the female who was unresponsive. Michael Fidalgo made sure that Kristine Ohler did not get the immediate medical care that may have saved her life as it had did many times.

Kristine Candace Ohler (dob 9/8/89) had a documented history of drug and alcohol abuse, passing out and being taken to detox as well as a criminal record

Pawtucket Police dispatcher Michael Fidalgo intentionally pushed a frantic RI E 911 caller, Mr. Colebut, to anger by playing dumb. Fidalgo canceled the paramedics and advanced life support and unnecessarily withheld the EMTs and basic life support for the sole purpose of “creating an exigent” circumstance. The police dispatcher sent a message to a 911 caller, “I’m going to send the police and you are going to be arrested.” It was Fidalgo’s way of showing a 911 caller who was in charge when Mr. Colebut demanded a rescue.

Yeah I know the police I’m gonna send em out for unknown medical what the f…”, Michael Fidalgo said to the RI E911 Call Taker who did nothing to intervene or stop Fidalgo from delaying medical assistance.

Fidalgo then told the EMTs and basic life support to STAGE for police. That is the code to stay away from the location until the police clear the scene of any dangers. Red flags are raised because there was no reason to withhold medical assistance or for the police to arrive and further delay medical assistance. There are a lot of questions that must be addressed and answered. The official records are full of flaws that raise valid questions about the night in question.

RI Pawtucket Police Department Chief Fails to Investigate Dispatcher Michael Fidalgo or the Responding Police Officer’s When Patient Dies

Michael Fidalgo’s reasoning and extreme disregard for human life should not be swept under the rug. This man should not only be investigated but he needs to be examined psychologically. What type of human being could listen to someone begging for help and deliberately refuse to send a rescue? More importantly, it takes a very dangerous and sick individual, someone who is so full of hatred for others that they are desensitized and cannot feel compassion or empathy to cancel life support and the paramedics.

We all have internal biases that sometimes rise to the surface, and most sane people do not act negatively because of those biases. Unfortunately there are some individuals who simply hate and feel superior to certain groups of people. Heartless individuals like Michael Fidalgo that desire to be a cop or detective should never had been answering any type of 911 call after the fact. Yet he did. Nor should someone like Fidalgo be dealing with the public whether in a police department or restaurant.

A petition to the RI Attorney General, Peter Nehrona, to investigate the RI E-911 call in question was made in 2021, but there is no evidence that the RI E-911 call taker or the Pawtucket fire dispatcher, Michael Fidalgo, were ever investigated. Why not?

As a matter of fact, information pertaining to the RI E-911 call that Victor Colebut made, the name of the Police dispatcher, Michael Fidalgo, and the Rescue Run Sheet for the night in question was withheld from Mr. Colebut until mid 2022.

However, Mr. Colebut has never received any information that he requested from any of his prior counsel about the Call Taker employed by the Rhode Island E911 Communications Center in N. Scitutate who initially took the call on February 17, 2020 and allowed police communication’s dispatcher Michael Fidalgo to re-route a medical emergency call for a rescue to the police.

Have you ever had to call 911 in a medical emergency? Perhaps you know someone who has dialed 911 for an ambulance. If you have experienced the need for help and did dial 911 then you know that panicky feeling as well as the sense of relief when you know help is on the way.

Whenever a person is unresponsive or in need of oxygen every single second makes a difference. How long can a human being go without oxygen?

Victor Colebut and Kristine Ohler may have had a rocky past but that does not mean their lives did not and do not matter. They both have families and loved ones despite what the police may have believed. The 911 call that Victor made was probably never suppose to be heard by anyone. Thus the “911 hang-up” lie told by the police.

Time is a matter of life and death and Michael Fidalgo’s total disregard for human life as he wasted time pretending to be stupid and pushing a 911 caller to anger before unreasonably holding back the rescue and life-saving equipment was pure evil. Michael Fidalgo should be investigated and held accountable for his despicable actions that did contribute to the patient’s condition worsening and becoming fatal.

Question – What were four police officers doing inside a 911 caller’s apartment while he was handcuffed and a woman lay unresponsive? Twenty-four (24) minutes?

Shannon Signore and Jonathan Burke, the state’s attorneys, of the Rhode Island Attorney General’s Office are continuing down this path of pursuing and torturing a black man who they know is innocent and who did the right thing in an over-dose situation when he dialed RI E-911 when he awoke and found his girlfriend Kristine Ohler, a white woman, passed out on is hallway floor.

A.G. Assistant Shannon Signore is a child abuse prosecutor why is she on this case?

Signore and Burke allowed and participated in misconduct before the Grand Jury just to secure the indictment. The Attorney General’s Office is suppose to be trustworthy, fair and unbiased. Its agents are suppose to uphold the laws and constitutions.

The conduct exhibited by Rhode Island assistant attorney generals, Jonathan Burke and Shannon Signore, is a disgrace to the Rhode Island Judicial System.

Rhode Island E-911 Telecommunicators will begin to use a new and exciting system called “Emergency Medical Dispatch” (EMD) starting July 26,2022. This system is utilized in more than 3,500 emergency call centers worldwide and is designed to engage callers in the critical minutes between when a 911 call is made and arrival of rescue.
