Incident Details for Footage Retrieval:
Date: August 28, 2024
Location: Corner of 16th Avenue and 3rd Street, Naples, FL
Suspect: Teresa Heitmann, 61
Incident Summary: Mayor Teresa Heitmann allegedly followed a couple home in her vehicle while intoxicated, crashed into their mailbox, and parked on their lawn. When police arrived, Heitmann identified herself but later insisted, “I am not the mayor.” Officers noted signs of intoxication, including slurred speech and difficulty standing without leaning on her vehicle. She performed field sobriety tests and later registered blood alcohol levels of 0.155 and 0.169, exceeding Florida’s legal limit of 0.08. She was arrested for DUI with an unlawful BAC of 0.15 or higher.
I am requesting copies of all body-worn camera footage from officers who:
Responded to the scene and initially spoke with Heitmann.
Conducted field sobriety tests and breathalyzer examinations.
Documented her statements and demeanor during the interaction.
Processed her arrest and transported her to jail.
The requested documents will be made available to the general public, and this request is not being made for commercial purposes.
In the event that there are fees, I would be grateful if you would inform me of the total charges in advance of fulfilling my request. I would prefer the request filled electronically, by e-mail attachment if available or CD-ROM if not.
Thank you in advance for your anticipated cooperation in this matter. I look forward to receiving your response to this request within 10 business days.
Sincerely,
Harun
