Mary "Cougar" DeRossett is a woman who admits to having a drug problem. She has also admitted to being a prostitute, a de facto pimp, and a drug addict. However, there are still questions as to whether the prostitution was really legal. In addition, other sheriff's deputies have resigned after encountering the alleged prostitute. The Cougar fought to keep blood samples from being collected, arguing that they would violate her Fifth Amendment rights. This left her uncle, Brevard County Sheriff's Agent John "Casey" Smith, critically wounded..
