Search Warrant On Home Of Rebekah Jones Nets Computers and Digital Records

TALLAHASSEE, FL. – Regarding the warrant served this morning at the residence of Rebekah Jones, former Department of Health employee, FDLE Commissioner Rick Swearingen provides this statement.

“Our investigation began last month following a complaint by Florida Department of Health that a person illegally hacked into their emergency alert system. As part of our investigation, FDLE agents served a search warrant this morning at the Centerville Court residence where Ms. Jones lives after determining the home was the location that the unauthorized message was sent from.

Agents knocked and called Ms. Jones both announcing the search warrant and encouraging her to cooperate. Ms. Jones refused to come to the door for 20 minutes and hung-up on agents.

After several attempts, Ms. Jones allowed agents inside. Agents entered the home in accordance with normal protocols and seized several devices that will be forensically analyzed. At no time were weapons pointed at anyone in the home. Any evidence will be referred to the State Attorney for prosecution as appropriate.”

Jones released a video and allegedly reported that a gun was drawn during the raid and thought it was pointed at her child.

Under Reporting Of Positive Tests By Florida

She was fired earlier in the year heading the department that provided web pages reporting Florida's COVID-19 statistics. She claimed she was ordered to manipulate the numbers to show Florida had fewer coronavirus cases testing positive, theorizing Florida would then be able to open businesses and schools when the numbers were showing less cases.

She then developed the Covid Monitor website to give the public a clearer picture of Florida's virus statistics and truer positivity test result percentages compared to Florida Department of Health published statistics. 

The Florida Department of Health has posted misleading numbers for testing each day since May 5, that includes people taking multiple tests, and re-tests. Health care workers and others take multiple tests. About 40% of DOH "people tested" totals include multiple or re-tests of the same individuals.

Because the this accounting of testing, the DOH positive rates post lower percentages of infection by counting all the multiple tests on the same people. The realistic percentage of positive tests is about double what Florida reports, when counting tests for each tested individual instead of Florida's reporting all tests no matter how many are negative tests by the same individuals.
