Former Florida data scientist Rebekah Jones was arrested on a charge that she hacked into the state’s emergency response system — and later learned she tested positive for COVID-19.

Jones — who said she was fired from the state’s Department of Health in May for refusing to alter coronavirus data — turned herself in late Sunday, the Tampa Bay Times reported.

Her attorney, Steve Dobson, said Jones, 31, was tested for COVID-19 after being booked into the Leon County Detention Facility, and learned she was positive on Monday.

Authorities raided Jones’ home in December, seizing her computers and other data equipment.

Ron DeSantis’ handling of the pandemic  and questioned the validity of the state’s COVID data — maintained her innocence

In a statement on Twitter Saturday, she said there was a warrant for her arrest and that she would be surrendering “to protect my family from continued police violence, and to show that I’m ready to fight whatever they throw at me.”
