Naples Mayor Arrested For DUI, Bodycam Captures Sobriety Test Failure After She Hits Mailbox - Naples, Florida Mayor Teresa Heitmann, was pulled over on Wednesday night after a couple called 911 and reported that she had followed them home, then drove over their mailbox. Dashcam footage shows officers interacting with Heitmann, calling her "Mayor" and Heitmann replied, “No, don't call me mayor. I am Teresa Heitmann right now, I am not the mayor.” She claimed the couple cut her off in traffic and said she had only had one glass of wine, but she failed a sobriety test and her breath test was above the legal limit in Florida. She was arrested and released on a $500 bond the next day. Mayor Heitmann has not commented on her arrest. She was first elected in 2020 and re-elected as mayor last March.
