Attack On Free Speech? Michigan Sheriff Seeks Charges For Woman Who Called Out Anti-Maskers

The Livingston County Sheriff's Office is seeking criminal charges against a Howell woman who took to Twitter to criticize recent public meeting comments by anti-maskers who describe themselves as nurses.

Sheriff Mike Murphy tells Deadline Detroit his department investigated Kasey Helton based on a complaint from someone who felt "legitimately threatened, harassed and intimidated," adding: "We felt the same way."

The Republican, who campaigned for Donald Trump, declined to disclose what tweets he believes were criminal in nature.

Helton reposted a series Monday in which she calls a purported nurse who complained of E. coli on masks "Nurse E.Coli b/c she's full of" followed by the poop emoji. She also tagged St. Joseph's Health, saying "I believe she's on your staff?"

I hope that Ms. Helton sues the LCSO for her legal expenses after the case is thrown out of court.
