Naples Mayor Teresa Heitmann (R) arrested for driving under the influence

Naples Mayor Teresa Heitmann has been arrested for driving drunk.

Collier County Jail records show the 61-year-old city leader was booked on a charge of driving under the influence. Booking sheets showed the Mayor had a blood alcohol level greater than 0.15 and was driving with a child under the age of 18 in her vehicle.

NBC-2 News reports that Naples Police received a call around 9:51 p.m. on Wednesday saying a driver had stopped her silver vehicle on the grass in front of a home at 16th Avenue and 3rd Street. The caller said the woman claimed to be the Mayor and appeared drunk.

Heitmann was released Thursday on $500 bond.

A police report shows Heitmann was found at the scene leaning over her Porsche, according to the Naples Daily News. A police sergeant reported that he could “immediately smell the odor of an alcoholic beverage” and that the Mayor had “glassy, watery eyes.”
