News 6 reporter Justin Warmoth has been following the story all day long. Sergeant pierce is in her 22nd year at the Orange County Sheriffs Office. Sheriff Jerry Demings said her husband is also a sergeant with the department. In fact, he told us his wife heard the call her husband heard the call go out that his wife was struck. Sergeant marcy pierce was trying to serve a burglary warrant this morning, something shes done several times for the Sheriffs Office for the last 22 years, but the next thing she knew the suspect she was trying her. She ended up on the hood of the car. He entered the roadway and began to accelerate at a relatively high rate of speed. Just sounded like nascar starting off, tires squealing, not your average, you know, just burn rubber. It sounded like a highspeed chase. Behind the wheel, a 15yearold who has been arrested before for enforcement officer. Neighbors wonder how the juvenile Justice System allowed him to be back on the streets. Its getting to be out of control. Officers have a job to do and they cant do their job safely with criminals on the street doing the things theyre doing. This was a bold action this young man took today and thats really the sad part of this. 15 years old, already been in trouble with the law and again today taking the action that he took, we want to certainly hold him accountable for his actions, even though hes a juvenile. Sheriff deming says after sergeant pierce landed on the hood of ortizs vehicle, she jumped off. The impact knocked her unconscious but alive. Something sheriff demings is thankful for tonight. At this time while shes in a lot of pain, she has a very jovial personality, but still a serious situation today. Sergeant pierce is out of the hospital tonight. Some good news there. The allout search for ortiz is still happening, though, at this hour. The last time he was seen was in a white honda hatchback with black rims. If you see that car, call 911 or crime line immediately. Live at ormc, Justin Warmoth, news 6. Thank you. The search for baby willow continues into its 5th day now. Today the search went under water.

Are you giving the middle finger to taxpayers . Earlier this week a jury found neil guilty of stealing state money thats meant to help working families with jobs afford childcare. On this application, neil claims she was employed at the Itty Bitty Learning Center but the worked there. She submitted falsified pay stubs in order to obtain 20,000 in childcare subsidy. She was actually unemployed at the time according to prosecutors. Its unclear what she was doing while her poor kids were in the Daycare Center but apparently nothing productive. I just want to say i know what i did was wrong. I accept full responsibility. Since there is limited money available, state investigators say neils crime prevented others with jobs from getting childcare. Your kids got benefits that the jury determined they were not entitled to get. That meant that other people didnt get the benefits. The judge sentenced neil to six months in jail followed by 14 years of probation. During that time, neil must pay back the 20,000 she stole from taxpayers. When neil gets out of jail in august, shes been ordered to pay at least 100 a month until court today. Very interesting. Mike deforest, thank you. Breaking news in Brevard County now.
