Mayor: Toss evidence in DUI case
Naples Mayor Teresa Heitmann’s defense attorney has filed a motion to suppress all the evidence, videos and statements resulting from her arrest last summer on a drunken driving charge. “The Naples Police Department did not observe each element of the offense of DUI being committed by the defendant, the Naples Police Department was not investigating an accident and the ‘fellow officer rule’ is not applicable, as no officer observed the defendant driving or in actual physical control of a motor vehicle,” defense attorney Derek Verderamo argued, noting police also didn’t obtain an arrest warrant, so they had no probable cause to make the arrest.
