Woman arrested after using her access to the sensitive court database to warn members of a drug trafficking operation who had arrest warrants. Crystal Lawson, 32, was hired in 2022 as a Juvenile Probation Officer for the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice before being terminated from that role for a battery charge later that year. Although Lawson was fired, her access to the court database was not cut off. Between January and May 2026, Lawson used the database 106 times to search for active criminals being investigated for drug trafficking. Lawson unlawfully found multiple active, unserved arrest warrants and leaked that information to the criminals. Orange County Sheriff's Office stated on Instagram, “These leaks resulted in lost evidence, unrecovered assets, and at least one flight to avoid arrest.” Lawson was charged with 113 felony counts of unauthorized access, each punishable by up to 5 years in prison. ]]> Fri 19 Jun 2026 16:35:04 +0200 https://theworldwatch.com/videos/1616760/woman-arrested-after-using-her-access-to-sensitive-court-database-to-warn-drug-traffi/
