Carroll's Former Spokeswoman Arrested

Fired after taking her complaints about infighting in the lieutenant governors offices to the media, Carletha Cole now has a felony charge to worry about.

Cole, 48, was arrested Monday by the Leon County sheriffs office for allegedly illegally taping a conversation between herself and John Konkus, Lt. Gov. Jennifer Carrolls chief of staff.

Florida law prohibits recording someone without their consent.

Cole had worked as a senior program analyst in the office and also served as Carrolls spokeswoman.

Cole told the Florida Times-Union Sept. 9 that we are like a juvenile school now -- we are not going to get anywhere.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement was asked to investigate after the Times-Union later posted a taped conservation said to be between Cole and Konkus.
