ORLANDO, Fla.

Casey Anthony told her probation officer this week that she is unemployed and hasn’t used any illegal drugs, according to a report released Tuesday by authorities.

Anthony reported to her probation officer Monday at an undisclosed location in Florida, the state Department of Corrections said in the report.

She told the probation officer that she has had no source of income during the past 30 days. Her probation order requires her to “work diligently at a lawful occupation.”

But Florida Department of Corrections spokeswoman Gretl Plessinger said being jobless doesn’t put Anthony in violation of her probation. Thousands of other probationers are without jobs, given Florida’s 10.7 percent unemployment rate.

Anthony’s defense attorney, Joe Baez, said last month on Fox News’ “Geraldo At Large” that Anthony was undergoing therapy and counseling. But Anthony checked “no” on the probation report form that asked her if she had attended mental-health or therapy programs in the past month.
