ORLANDO, Fla. — Rebekah Jones, the former Florida Department of Health employee who has become an outspoken critic of the state’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, is expected to turn herself in to authorities Sunday on a Florida Department of Law Enforcement arrest warrant.
It was not immediately clear what the allegations are against Jones, but FDLE spokeswoman Gretl Plessinger confirmed there was an “active arrest warrant” for Jones.
On Twitter Saturday afternoon, Jones said she would turn herself into Florida authorities, after she was informed of the FDLE warrant which has to do with documents she received or downloaded from state sources. She said she and her attorney were not told what exactly she had in her possession that was illegal or details of the alleged crime, but that she was only facing one criminal charge.
