Officer Drops Suit, Placed On Leave
Woman Broke Knee After Slipping On Puddle


CASSELBERRY, Fla. -- A police sergeant on Thursday dropped her lawsuit against a family that was filed after she slipped and fell at their home during a 911 call, and she was placed on leave by the Casselberry Police Department.

Sgt. Andrea Eichhorn, a 12-year department veteran, was removed from duty with pay while the department reviews the incident.

A 1-year-old boy, Joey Cosmillo, nearly drowned Jan. 9, and there was water on the floor at the home of the boy's family. Eichhorn slid, broke her knee and missed two months of work. She said the boy's family is guilty of negligence.

Eichhorn's attorney, David Heil, sent a fax to Local 6 News that stated Eichhorn said it was in the best interest of herself and her family, friends and the Casselberry Police Department to dismiss the lawsuit.

"It doesn't mean anything because you can't take anything more away from us than what has been taken," grandmother Maggie Cosmillo said in reference to her grandson's condition.

She was going to look like a fool.

I wonder how many people let her know the lawsuit was idiotic.....
