FDLE

Rick Swearingen, head of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement, says the water plant wasn't using the security technology that has been widely available for years.

Jones’ attorneys filed a notice last week in federal court in Tallahassee that said she was dismissing the lawsuit “without prejudice,” which means it could be filed again.

Saying she wants to protect her family "from continued police violence," former state data analyst Rebekah Jones said she will turn herself into police Sunday night.

The FBI has warned of possible protests at all 50 state Capitols starting Saturday.

The judge said he was unwilling to force the government to return Jones’ property until he can learn whether the state intends to file criminal charges against her.

The FDLE conducted the search at Jones’ house after an investigation allegedly linked her home address to a Nov. 10 message sent on an internal Department of Health multi-user account.

Richard Swearingen asserts his agents did not point guns at the children of Rebekah Jones during a search of her home but said their approach was due, in part, to a 2016 altercation she had with LSU police.

The video shows authorities knocking on her door multiple times before serving a search warrant.

The FDLE said it has been investigating Jones since November after tracing a hack of the Health Department’s emergency alert health system to an IP address at her address.

A spokesperson for FDLE says a “review,” which can include gathering evidence, is underway.
