𝐀 𝐦𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐚𝐠𝐞 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐒𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐟𝐟 𝐂𝐚𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐞 𝐌𝐚𝐫𝐜𝐞𝐧𝐨:In an effort to be transparent and in response to a recent inquiry, I would like to deliver you FACTUAL information of an incident that occurred at the Lee County Sheriff’s Office Law Enforcement Academy on June 16th.During this incident, a law enforcement cadet, Douglas McDevitt, fainted. Our on-site personnel called Lee County EMS who assessed him on-scene, deemed him stable, and departed.Due to this behavior, McDevitt was ordered to submit to a drug test, at which time he submitted his resignation, citing “personal reasons”. It is standard LCSO procedure to order drug testing whenever there is an unusual occurrence.Rumors of the incident, which are NOT FACTUAL, claim that McDevitt was having a narcotics related overdose. There is no evidence he was under the influence at the time of the incident.Other false rumors include McDevitt was engaged in criminal activity and said investigation was “called off” by LCSO Command Staff. Under no circumstances would anyone call off ANY investigation into criminal activity. McDevitt is not under investigation and not suspected of any criminal activity while employed with LCSO.Our history shows that we hold our deputies accountable and if they were to commit a crime, they are arrested without hesitation.Lee County Sheriff’s Office employees are held to the highest standards throughout the hiring process and their careers. When an employee brings forth concerns based on character or action, it is our duty to fully investigate the matter.We take the constitution seriously and believe in the presumption of innocence. There is simply no evidence these “rumors” are true.As always, your Lee County Sheriff’s Office will continue to provide the concierge level of service that you deserve. ... See MoreSee Less

🚁𝐂𝐀𝐑 𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐄𝐕𝐄𝐒 𝐂𝐀𝐔𝐆𝐇𝐓 𝐁𝐘 𝐄𝐘𝐄 𝐈𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐊𝐘🚁Two car burglary suspects are behind bars after being caught in the act by the LCSO Aviation Unit during overnight patrols in a McGregor Blvd neighborhood.While conducting proactive patrols, LCSO pilots spotted a suspicious pickup truck moving slowly through the area. A passenger was seen repeatedly exiting the vehicle and pulling on door handles of parked cars.The chopper camera caught the suspect finding an unlocked car and taking items from inside.Deputies on the ground swarmed the truck near Brentwood Ave and arrested the driver, 𝐂𝐡𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐈𝐬𝐢𝐚𝐡 𝐍𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐨 (𝐃𝐎𝐁 𝟎𝟗/𝟎𝟓/𝟐𝟎𝟎𝟔), and passenger, 𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐞𝐨 𝐉𝐨𝐬𝐮𝐞 𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐨 (𝐃𝐎𝐁 𝟎𝟕/𝟐𝟒/𝟐𝟎𝟎𝟕).The investigation revealed the truck had been reported stolen. Deputies also recovered multiple stolen items from inside, including a firearm.𝐂𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐨 was arrested for three counts of burglary of a conveyance, possession of a weapon by a delinquent, theft, grand theft auto, and probation violation. At only 17 years old, Castillo is a convicted felon and has a lengthy criminal history including aggravated assault and multiple weapon and theft charges. 𝐍𝐚𝐯𝐚𝐫𝐫𝐨 was arrested for grand theft auto, and burglary of a conveyance.3rd & 4th Precinct Crime Section detectives worked together to link the duo to a car burglary in Bonita Springs. That charge is reflected in the duo’s early morning arrests. This incident serves as an important reminder: Always lock your vehicle and remove personal belongings at night.🔒 𝐋𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐭 𝐨𝐫 𝐥𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐭, 𝐋𝐞𝐞 𝐂𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐲. 🔒 ... See MoreSee Less
