Yesterday, members of our Special Operations Unit, Crisis Negotiation Team, Advanced Technology Support Unit, K9 and Patrol deputies responded to assist FHP during a barricaded suspect incident on Interstate 75 near mile marker 126. It was learned that the suspect involved was earlier involved in a homicide in St. Petersburg and fled from an attempted traffic stop from FHP.
LCSO deputies then immediately arrived to assist. After refusing to comply with lawful commands, SOU and K9 members were successful in establishing contact with the suspect and taking him into custody.

Narcotics Unit Detectives arrested Sergio Davila on several felony drug charges during a tactical traffic stop earlier this week.
On July 15th, detectives were notified of a suspicious package containing controlled substances. We immediately began investigating – locating over a kilogram of Cocaine inside of the package.
Through investigative techniques, detectives were able to locate Davila’s vehicle and intercept the package, detaining him on scene.
Subsequently, Davila was arrested for Trafficking in Cocaine, Tampering with Evidence, and an Out of County Warrant with Collier County.

When a visitor began choking at DiamondHead Beach Resort, Deputy Alter immediately jumped into action, utilizing his training to save her life.
Due to his ability to stay calm and act quickly, the individual was able to recover at the scene.
Thank you Deputy Alter for your courage and commitment to protecting our community. 👏💙

We enjoyed keeping watch and making sure our community was safe, we hope you had a great weekend, Lee County!
3rd Precinct Deputy Hopson responded to a call about a week-old baby raccoon that had been found alone, without its mother. With care and compassion, Deputy Hopson safely took the tiny raccoon into his care and transported it to CROW on Sanibel Island, where wildlife experts will provide the specialized treatment and rehabilitation it needs.
Thanks to Deputy Hopson’s quick response, this healthy little raccoon has a second chance. Without intervention, it would have faced the dangers of the beach and extreme heat on its own.
We’re proud of Deputy Hopson’s commitment to protecting not only our community, but also the wildlife that calls Southwest Florida home.
Thank you, Deputy Hopson, for making a difference—one life at a time! 🦝💚

What started as a wellness check turned into something much more…
When 1st Precinct Deputy Kirby responded to a call in North Fort Myers, he found no medical emergency—but he did find a home with indoor temperatures soaring above 90° after the A/C had failed. Learning the resident wasn`t in a position to replace the unit, he knew he couldn`t just walk away.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of Pete Flatter, manager of Home Depot Store #3119, a brand-new window A/C unit was donated. Deputy Kirby and Deputy Drummond delivered and installed it, bringing cool air and comfort to a grateful resident.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make this possible. This is what community is all about; neighbors truly helping neighbors. 💙❄️
