MORRIS COUNTY - A state appeals court today upheld a finding that a Morris County Park Police officer suffers from work-related Lyme disease and is entitled to temporary disability and medical benefits along with an oxygen treatment.

Margie Raimondi said she contracted the disease during horseback patrols of wooded areas frequented by deer, according to the appeals decision.

The county park commission had appealed the payments ordered by a worker's compensation court, arguing there was no conclusive evidence Raimondi has Lyme disease.
