However, police did find documents I received/downloaded from sources in the state, or something of that nature… it isn’t clear at this point what exactly they’re saying I had that I shouldn’t have had, but an agent confirmed it has nothing to do with the subject of the warrant

… was issued the day after a Tallahassee judge told police that if they’re not investigating a crime, they had to return my equipment. They didn’t find proof of anything related to the warrant, so they invented something new to come after me for in retaliation.

The officers were serving a warrant for Jones’s electronic equipment obtained after the Department of Health (DOH) filed a complaint related to an unauthorized user accessing DOH’s messaging system last month.

Texans to interview Ravens' David Culley for head coach vacancy

Culley has never even been a coordinator at the NFL level and has mostly been a receivers coach, so this one would be a bit outside the box. Of course that doesn’t mean he is incapable, and Harbaugh himself charted an unusual path by going from special teams coordinator to head coach. Culley coached under Andy Reid for 18 years, first with the Eagles from 1999-2012 as receivers coach and then as an assistant head coach and receivers coach with the Chiefs from 2013-16.

Jones soon sued over the raid, after she claimed law enforcement pointed guns at her son, age 11, and her daughter, 2. The FDLE has denied wrongdoing.

“I can confirm there is an active arrest warrant for Ms. Jones,” FDLE spokesperson Gretl Plessinger told Law&Crime in an email. “FDLE agents have been working with her attorney to have her turn herself in.  Our case remains active.  Once she turns herself in, we’ll be able to provide additional information.”

Jones’ name does not appear in the Leon County jail records as of Sunday afternoon.
