Lee sheriff's staff, court-ordered day workers help remove tornado debris at mobile home park

Sheriff's Office officers, deputies, members of the newly renamed Civilian Support Unit and others along with the day workers — non-violent offenders under court-ordered service obligations — tackled piles of aluminum sheeting, vegetation debris, wood, and other pieces of wrecked mobile homes.
