Florida mayor arrested for drunk driving

The mayor of a city in Florida was arrested for DUI after a confrontation with another driver last week. Naples Mayor Teresa Heitmann was seen on police camera failing a field sobriety test, having reportedly followed another driver home after a near collision. The driver called the police after Heitmann drove over his mailbox and onto his lawn.

‘I think the mayor is drunk, and she just, she just literally … oh, she just drove over our mailbox,’ the man told 911 dispatchers. When asked to confirm this was the mayor, the man replied, ‘I don’t know. She’s claiming to be the mayor. I don’t know who she is.’

When police arrived, Heitmann at first refused to acknowledge her title. ‘No, don’t call me mayor,’ she told officers. ‘I am Teresa Heitmann right now. I am not the mayor.’

Despite claiming to have had one glass of wine, Heitmann’s blood alcohol level was twice the legal limit, and she was arrested and charged with DUI.

City officials said in a statement that they were ‘saddened’ to hear of the mayor’s arrest, and that they will give Heitmann ‘the space she needs.’
