A Facebook post about problems with the City of Trinidad's water quality led to the arrest of a Henderson County resident, who says she's filed a lawsuit against the city and called the arrest "political retaliation."

Jennifer Combs was arrested after making claims in a Facebook post that residents had been hospitalized after consuming the water in Trinidad.

Trinidad officials confirmed that the city has been having water issues, but wouldn’t say if anyone had been hospitalized.

Combs has since filed a lawsuit against the city and several officials, claiming the arrest was an act of “political retaliation.”

    OP definitely should have at least added a [Texas] or something. I remember seeing articles for this story a few days ago.
