A former employee of the Florida Department of Health said Monday A search warrant was executed at his home Investigators said they identified a message sent from a computer to the address to health department employees. Rebecca Jones, who was fired for an announcement in May after repeatedly violating the department’s policy on communicating with the media, helped create the state’s coronavirus dashboard. She argues that she was fired for misrepresenting the data.
The Florida Department of Law Enforcement issued a search warrant earlier this month. Jones posted a 31-second video Officers are entering his home, And the department later released a more than 20-minute body debugging video showing her refusing to answer phone calls and knocking on her door.
Jones said she, her husband and two children were asleep when officers arrived. Speaking in an interview with Florida Today YouTube earlier this month, Jones said she needed to get dressed and told her husband to take the children upstairs because he felt officers were arresting him and did not want that. He sees it.
She said she could not understand why officers needed to pull out a gun and raid her home.
“They were there to issue a search warrant for a computer. This is not an illegal, underground cartel.” “There was no risk of harm and (delay in opening the door) does not excuse that behavior.”
The message that leads to the search warrant is still in the health department “requesting to call before the death of another 17,000 people. You know this is wrong. You don’t have to be a part of this. Be a hero.”
Jones has had several run-ins with law enforcement on personal issues, but has garnered international attention by disputing Florida’s COVID-19 figure. He was paid about $ 48,000 a year as a health department employee, but May has raised about 26 260,000 on his GoFundMe account after criticizing Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis.
The lawsuit alleges that “the plaintiff’s firing drew national attention at the national level and in Florida, with most of them negative towards Governor Ron Descentis.” “Governor Disantis publicly condemned the absurdity in a very harsh and debilitating manner in the wake of his shooting.”
He says the search for his home was a “shameless” one.
Rick Sveringen, commissioner of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, said he was proud of his practitioners because they ran a legal search warrant at home.
“Our criminal investigation is ongoing and I have not seen the case. I believe these facts will come out in court,” the commissioner added in an email to reporters.
No charges have been filed in the investigation.
