Action News Jax told you last week that Wesley Parker’s case was disposed of after the program was completed.
Landon Simmons is still working on his program, but his charges will be dropped once that is completed.
Action News Jax was the first to report the firefighters’ arrests. They were charged with criminal mischief for shooting paintballs at passing vehicles while on duty at Jacksonville Fire Rescue Station 4 in LaVilla.

The incident, which the firefighters called a “prank war,” happened in December, but they weren’t arrested until January, causing Action News Jax to ask Sheriff T.K. Waters if the firefighters received special treatment.
Sheriff Waters replied, “No, I don’t give my own officers special treatment.”
