The arrest is the fourth arrest of a JSO employee by the agency in 2023, but the seventh to be arrested overall, including by other agencies.
– Jacksonville Sheriff T.K. Waters on Monday announced the arrest of an officer who has been accused of driving under the influence following a crash.
Waters said a child was inside the personal car of Officer Edith Jaworski, a nearly 17-year veteran, at the time of the crash and she faces an additional misdemeanor charge because of that. The child was not hurt. Waters said the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office responded to a crash on Saturday afternoon at the intersection of Beach Boulevard and Discovery Way. JSO officers suspected Jaworski was under the influence when she was seen standing outside the car, Waters said, but she refused to take a field sobriety test or breath test.Jaworski is now part of an internal investigation and has been placed on administrative duty and stripped of her police powers.
When asked if Jaworski had been reprimanded for anything in the past, Waters didn’t get into specifics but said, “There have been some issues we have been dealing with.”Copyright 2023 by WJXT News4JAX - All rights reserved.
