ORLANDO, Fla. — Jestine Iannotti, the former Seminole County substitute teacher whose independent 2020 bid for Florida Senate District 9 was central to the statewide “ghost” candidate scandal, was booked into the Seminole County Jail on Wednesday morning.
She was jailed about 11:30 a.m. and released roughly two hours later after posting $4,500 bond.
Her brief detention provided a rare glimpse of Iannotti, 36, who never campaigned for the seat and spent weeks prior to the November 2020 election in Sweden, where she moved after the race was decided.
