CITRUS COUNTY -- Mark Lunsford has dropped his planned lawsuit against the Citrus County Sheriff's Office.

The announcement was made on a radio program Thursday.
 
In the suit, Lunsford alleged law enforcement botched the investigation, making mistakes that may have cost his daughter, Jessica Lunsford, her life.

However, his attorneys said they won't move forward if the sheriff's office agrees to look at the case and make improvements in case something like this happens again.  

The tentative agreement could be in jeopardy, because the sheriff's office stands by the claims that they handled the case appropriately.
