A woman faces serious charges after using language linked to the murder of a healthcare executive during a phone call with an insurance company.
Ms. Boston was arrested following the alarming telephone conversation. The Lakeland Police responded swiftly, and she was subsequently charged with threats related to a mass shooting or terrorism. The judge set her bail at $100,000 as she reacted in shock. Reports indicate that Ms. Boston expressed resentment against healthcare companies, believing they deserved "karma" for their practices.

Police Chief Sam Taylor condemned her actions, reminding the public of the severity of such threats in the current climate. Meanwhile, Ms. Boston's attorney argued for her release, highlighting her previously clean record.
As the situation develops, this case highlights the intersection of public frustration with healthcare systems and the alarming consequences that can ensue.
