CASSELBERRY, Fla. — Casselberry authorities say a police sergeant has been fired for suing a family after she slipped and fell while trying to rescue a 1-year-old boy from drowning.

Casselberry Police Chief John Pavlis fired Sergeant Andrea Eichhorn on Tuesday.

Eichhorn has dropped her negligence lawsuit. It claimed there was water on the floor at Joey Cosmillo's home when police arrived. Eichhorn claimed she broke her knee and missed two months of work after she slid on the wet floor.

The boy suffered brain damage and can no longer walk, talk or swallow. He lives in a nursing home and eats and breathes through tubes.

Eichhorn can appeal her firing. Pavlis said the lawsuit brought public ridicule to the agency and damaged its reputation

What a fucking bitch. :reallymad

What a fucking bitch. :reallymad

:agree Glad she lost her job, the useless lump of flesh! :handup

well, if she hurt herself rescuing someone, she shouldn't get pissed about it..duh. :no

:no :sadeyes
This woman makes me sick. When I first heard about this story I was just like :wowsers :no

I saw something about that about a month or so ago. It was so sad because I saw the grandparents talking about why their floor was wet. It was where they had frantically been running around the house after getting their grandson out of the backyard pool:tears

I agree what a f'ing bitch:handup

:no people are too sue happy

:no people like that just make me SICK

Can I sue her for being an idiot?

Can I sue her for being an idiot?

:giggle we all should

I'm glad she was fired and that she dropped her suit. She wouldn't want me on that jury...:handup

umm isnt that a risk about being on the job? of course the floor was wet the child was drowning and they pulled him out what a dumbass bitch

wow that is rediculous. i cant believe that someone would go into police work and then SUE for slipping on someones floor where they were responding to a call.

Okay, I just want to make sure I'm reading this right.

A police officer gets hurt while trying to save a baby drowning in a pool. Then sues because she got hurt?

What a POS!

glad she lost it :smackup

Wow!! People sue WAY too much!!

:rolleyes

I wish she wouldn't have dropped the suit so she could have wasted all of her money losing the case. :no

WTF - of course there was water on the floor - they were responding to a freaking drowning. News flash, bitch, drowning involves water and usually people aren't worried about mopping up for company when they are trying to save a drowning baby!

Wow, isn't the whole "you could get hurt in the line of duty" thing an accepted part of the job? WTF was she thinking becoming a cop if she expected it to be "safe".
