PHOTO - Clay County Fire Chief Lorin Mock said Lt. Anthony Myrick was on administrative leave while the Department of Public Safety investigated. Hours after Action News Jax broke news of the photo and investigation, Myrick resigned. Mock confirmed the picture was taken in the bathroom inside Station 20 in Green Cove Springs. “I have two kids. My kids look up to people like that,” said Clay County mother Regina Howell. A woman shared the explicit photo on a Clay County Fire Facebook page that’s now been taken down. That woman posted that Myrick was on duty and in uniform when he sent her the photo on a dating website. The fire chief confirms that Myrick was on duty when the photo was taken. Action News Jax went to Myrick’s house, text messaged him and called him to get his side of the story. Myrick has not responded. Myrick worked for the Fire Department for 11 years.
