(CNN) A state investigation into a dog muzzle that was sent to Tennessee's former vaccine manager closed Monday after it was found the muzzle was ordered with the official's own credit card.

Dr. Michelle Fiscus, a pediatrician who served as Tennessee's medical director of vaccine-preventable diseases and immunization, was fired in July after she released a memo citing a 34-year-old state law about whether minors may get medical care without their parents' permission.

The memo led legislators to question whether Fiscus was undermining parental authority. She was fired soon after; Tennessee's health department told CNN at the time it could not comment on personnel matters.

Fiscus claimed to have received the muzzle a week prior to her termination. At the time, Tennessee Department of Health officials contacted the Tennessee Department of Safety & Homeland Security (TDOSHS), expressing concern that the muzzle was intended as a threat. Fiscus told investigators she had no knowledge of who sent the muzzle, the report said.

The TDOSHS investigation found the dog muzzle was ordered from an Amazon account that appeared to be attached to Fiscus and her credit card, according to a report released Monday.

I work in higher education where we saw something like this. Student claimed to be getting anti Semitic emails from someone else as harassment . We did our due dillergance and discovered that the emails were from an account at another university where he was going to grad school at. Never did hear what happened to him but I imagine his grad school process was never completed.

We have now learned that a second Amazon account had been established under my name using what appears to be a temporary phone, possibly in Washington state. I have asked Homeland Security for the unredacted report so that I can investigate further and am awaiting their response," Fiscus' statement read

We'll just put a pin in this one.
