The Florida Department of Law Enforcement released the full body camera footage from the raid at the home of the state’s former COVID-19 data curator, Rebekah Jones.

Jones was fired from her post in May after raising questions about Florida’s COVID data. She had been reprimanded several times and was ultimately fired for violating Health Department policy by making public remarks about the information, state records show, WJCT News partner News4Jax reported.

Jones has been under investigation since early November when someone illegally accessed the state’s emergency alert health system, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
