SANTA ROSA - Follow up to a story we told you about last week.

A Navarre woman, who is fighting a vaccination law, had a court hearing in Milton Thursday afternoon.

Carmen Reynolds is suing Florida's governor, attorney general and surgeon general. She is fighting a law that says if there's a severe public danger, the state can force people to be vaccinated. The law makes no exceptions for health conditions or religious objections. The only alternative is quarantine. The statute says law enforcement officers can be called in if necessary. The attorney general's office has filed a motion to dismiss, saying that Reynolds hasn't been directly affected by the law.

Carmen Reynolds: "I served my country for 22 years not to be told that I am a criminal, a 2nd degree misdemeanor offender because I raised my hand and said this isn't right. I don't want toxins in my body because it jeopardizes my health."Vaccine Hearing

Arbitrator: Fired investigator should get job back
March 14, 2010 01:05 EST

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. (AP) -- An investigator who was fired in the wake of a bungled drug case should be allowed to return to the Tallahassee Police Department.

That's according to an arbitrator, whose decision was reported by the Tallahassee Democrat on Saturday.

Ryan Pender was fired for roles in a botched drug sting that led to the death of Rachel Hoffman, a young informant.

Hoffman, a Florida State University graduate who was recruited by police as an informant after being caught with drugs, was killed in the operation. She was shot five times in Tallahassee in May 2008 after police lost track of her during a drug deal.
