    Wisner Fred Desmaret Sentenced to LWOP in 2018 FL Murder of Police Officer Adam Jobbers-Miller


    Police Officer Adam Jobbers-Miller


    Wisner Desmaret


    Wisner Desmaret, accused of killing Fort Myers police officer Adam Jobbers-Miller, to be held without bond

    By Melanie Payne and Melissa Montoya
    The Fort Myers News-Press

    The man accused of killing a Fort Myers police officer will remain in jail without bond. And the state attorney will convene a grand jury to consider his case.

    Wisner Desmaret was booked into Lee County Jail on Sunday night after spending more than a week in custody at Lee Memorial Hospital. Desmaret sustained non-life threatening gunshot wounds during the incident on July 21.

    The 29-year-old is accused of shooting Fort Myers police Officer Adam Jobbers-Miller.

    Jobbers-Miller, also 29, died Saturday night. His injuries included a gunshot wound to the head.

    In less than 10 minutes, Desmaret's first appearance hearing Monday morning was over, but not before he attempted to clear his name, claiming police were trying to murder him.

    Desmaret appeared on a TV screen in a small, third-floor courtroom packed with nearly two dozen law enforcement officers from the Fort Myers Police Department, lawyers, reporters and photographers.

    "The defendant has significant mental health issues," said Sean Czarnomski, an attorney with the public defender's office. "We have been in contact with his family. They have no means to bond him out."

    Desmaret was encased in a green smock from his shoulders to below his knees. The garment covered his arms and hands and there appeared to be a cinch around the waist. He was surrounded by five officers, two males on each side holding him, one male officer behind him and two female officers in front.

    Desmaret was arrested on suspicion of two counts of first-degree murder, robbery with a firearm, battery on an officer, burglary, larceny, two counts of aggravated assault on law enforcement and obstructing police.

    When the judge asked about the two counts of first-degree murder, the prosecutor said one of the counts was for attempted first-degree murder. First-degree murder charges are punishable by death or life in prison.

    In Florida, a grand jury needs to indict someone in order to charge them with first-degree murder. In order to seek the death penalty, the state attorney's office will have to decide to convene the death penalty review committee. The committee is made up of experienced prosecutors who determine if the death penalty is warranted. The state attorney would then make the final decision.

    The alleged altercation between Jobbers-Miller and Desmaret occurred after a call for a stolen cellphone at the Marathon gas station on Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard. According to the police report, Jobbers-Miller made contact with Desmaret on Flint Drive, and Desmaret began to run. Jobbers-Miller was shot while attempting to take Desmaret into custody.

    Fort Myers police report: Wisner Desmaret lunged at Officer Adam Jobbers-Miller, took his gun and shot him

    What started as a simple pursuit of a stolen cellphone ended tragically.

    Wisner Desmaret, who allegedly stole the cellphone, ran from police, according to official documents released Monday.

    He stopped, turned, hunched over and apparently looked like he was going to comply before lunging at Fort Myers police Officer Adam Jobbers-Miller, who was called to investigate the stolen cellphone on July 21.

    The 29-year-old officer was knocked to the ground and landed face-up. He tried to gain his footing, but couldn't.

    Desmaret hovered over the officer, reached for the officer's gun and pulled it from his duty belt and fired.

    This is the first time details have been released on what police say transpired between Desmaret and Jobbers-Miller that led to the shooting of the three-year veteran officer. The details were found in the Fort Myers Police Department arrest report for Desmaret, also 29. The report details the incident, which was viewed on Jobbers-Miller's body camera.

    Desmaret yelled out multiple expletives after allegedly shooting Jobbers-Miller, the report states. He then began to taunt officers.

    "Come on let's shoot it out (expletive), let's shoot it out," Desmaret said according to the arrest affidavit.

    Jobbers-Miller was rushed to Lee Memorial Hospital where he spent a week fighting for his life.

    He died Saturday.

    ICE files Removal Warrant for possible deportation of accused killer Wisner Desmaret

    WINK

    Immigration officials have filed a Removal Warrant for the man accused of killing a Fort Myers police officer.

    Right now, Wisner Desmaret is in the Lee County jail charged with first-degree murder of officer Adam Jobbers-Miller.

    Desmaret entered a not guilty plea to first-degree murder and seeks a public defender.

    If he’s ultimately deported it would likely be after his trial here runs its course.

    The ICE detainer policy according to their website states:

    “ICE places detainers on aliens who have been arrested on local criminal charges and for whom ICE possesses probable cause to believe that they are removable from the United States, so that ICE can take custody of the alien when he or she is released from local custody.”

    The Glades County booking sheet shows Desmaret was detained in December 2008 and went to immigration court in Miami before being released from ICE custody in January 2009.

    Prosecutors are gathering a grand jury in the case, which signals they could be seeking the death penalty.

    Man accused of shooting FMPD officer indicted for first degree murder

    A Fort Myers man accused of shooting a Fort Myers Police Department officer has been indicted for first degree murder.

    The State Attorney's Office 20th Judicial Circuit convened the Lee County Grand Jury which indicted defendant Wisner Desmaret on Friday in the death of Fort Myers Police Officer Adam Jobbers-Miller.

    Jobbers-Miller, along with other Fort Myers Police Department officers, had responded to a call involving a stolen cell phone near a Marathon Gas station on July 21.

    A struggle between Jobbers-Miller and the suspect in the phone theft ensued. Desmaret knocked Jobbers-Miller down, grabbed his gun and shot him in the head, then fired at another officer, arrest reports state. Jobbers-Miller fought for his life inside Lee Memorial Hospital for a week before succumbing to his injuries.

    Desmaret was also indicted Friday for attempted first degree murder of a law enforcement officer, robbery, aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer, resisting an officer with violence, depriving an officer of means of protection, burglary of a conveyance, and grand theft.

    In Florida only a Grand Jury may charge first degree murder. The charge carries a minimum penalty of life in prison or the possibility of the death sentence.

    Desmaret will have a first appearance Saturday on the charges and will continue to be held without bond in the Lee County Jail, officials said.

    His arraignment is scheduled for Aug. 20.

    The case is being prosecuted by Chief Assistant State Attorney Amira Fox and Assistant State Attorneys Andreas Gardiner and Orion Wright of the Homicide Unit.

    Prosecutors will seek death penalty against man charged with murder of Fort Myers officer

    Wisner Desmaret is accused of killing Officer Adam Jobbers-Miller.

    WTSP.com

    Prosecutors will seek the death penalty against a man accused of killing a Fort Myers police officer.

    Earlier this month, a Lee County grand jury indicted Wisner Desmaret, 29, on a first-degree murder charge in connection with the shooting death of Officer Adam Jobbers-Miller.

    Jobbers-Miller died on July 28 after a week in the hospital. Police say he was shot in the head on July 21 while responding to reports of an assault and cell phone theft at a gas station.

    Desmaret was arrested after being shot by another police officer.

    The State Attorney's Office announced Friday that it intended to file a court notice to seek Desmaret's execution if a jury convicts him when prosecutors try the case.

    Desmaret has also been indicted for the attempted first-degree murder of a law enforcement officer, robbery, aggravated assault of a law enforcement officer, resisting an officer with violence, depriving an officer of means of protection, burglary of a conveyance and grand theft.

    He remains in custody without bond.

    Memorial service to be held for former Wayne firefighter killed in Florida


    Thousands attended the emotional farewell for Fort Myers police officer Adam Jobbers-Miller.

    WAYNE — A memorial service will be held Sunday for Adam Jobbers-Miller, the firefighter-turned-cop who was fatally wounded in the line of duty in Fort Myers, Florida.

    Jobbers-Miller, 29, a 2007 graduate of Wayne Valley High School and former volunteer for P.O.L. Fire Co. 2, died July 28, a week after he sustained a gunshot to the head responding to a call of a cellphone theft at a gas station.

    His family will accept visitors from 1 to 5:30 p.m. at Vander May Wayne Colonial Funeral Home, 567 Ratzer Road. A service will follow visitation hours. A repast will follow at the Co. 2 firehouse, 970 Route 23 north. Due to limited parking spots, firefighters are asked not to drive apparatus to the repast.

    According to a report by Fort Myers News-Press, authorities in Florida are pushing for the death penalty against Wisner "Fred" Desmaret, 29, the alleged gunman. A grand jury indicted him on a first-degree murder charge on Aug. 10.

    News-Press had reported that more than 6,000 mourners paid their respects to Jobbers-Miller at a funeral service at an arena in Estero, Florida, a suburb of Fort Myers, on Aug. 6.

    The Wayne community held a candlelight vigil for Jobbers-Miller while he was in the hospital several days prior to his death.

    Memorial tributes

    In lieu of flowers, Jobbers-Miller's family requests donations made in his name and sent to P.O.L. Fire Co. 2, 970 Route 23 north, Wayne, NJ 07470.

    Donations also can be sent to Fort Myers Police Athletic League or Fort Myers Police Foundation, 2210 Widman Way, Fort Myers, FL 33901.

    Man accused of killing FMPD officer faces new charge

    Wink News

    The alleged killer of Fort Myers police officer Adam Jobbers-Miller is facing a new charge of battery on a law enforcement officer after throwing a cup of urine at a Collier County correctional officer Friday.

    The incident occurred at 11:30 a.m. Thursday as a Corporal was conducting his assigned duties, serving lunch, in a housing unit of the Naples Jail Center, according to the arrest report.

    While the officer was distributing lunch, Wisner Desmaret, 29, threw a Styrofoam cup full of urine at him, hitting him on the head and his back.

    Desmaret is currently facing the death penalty after shooting and killing Jobbers-Miller at the Marathon gas station on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard after the officer arrived to investigate the theft of a cellphone.

    Desmaret, the alleged thief, lunged and took Jobbers-Miller to the ground, and then shot him with his own gun. The officer would later succumb from his gunshot wound to the head a week later on July 28.

    On Aug. 10, Desmaret was indicted on first-degree murder charges and seven other felonies. The trial awaits a competency exam sought by his attorney. It will determine whether Desmaret is mentally competent to stand trial. The results will be revealed later in the year.

    Officers cleared of wrongdoing after shooting Wisner Desmaret

    By Wink News

    The State Attorney’s Office completed the review of the investigation into the officer involved shooting of Wisner Desmaret by members of the Fort Myers Police Department on July 21, 2018.

    Desmaret is currently facing the death penalty after shooting and killing Fort Myers Police Officer Adam Jobbers-Miller at the Marathon gas station on Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard after the officer arrived to investigate the theft of a cell phone.

    The actions of the officers involved were “a legally justifiable use of deadly force, in the defense of themselves or others”. Desmaret was shot and taken to the hospital with a non-life threatening injury.

    The State Attorney’s Office concluded no criminal charges will be filed against any officers.

    The trial of Desmaret awaits a competency exam sought by his attorney. It will determine whether Desmaret is mentally competent to stand trial. The results will be revealed later in the year.

    Man indicted in fatal shooting of Fort Myers police officer ruled competent to stand trial

    By Michael Braun
    Fort Myers News-Press

    Wisner Desmaret, 29, indicted in the 2018 murder of Fort Myers police officer Adam Jobbers-Miller, has been ruled competent to stand trial.

    The decision was made Wednesday at a pretrial court hearing before Judge Robert Branning. Desmaret was not present because of a scheduling mix-up but his attorney waived his presence.

    Desmaret will next be in court March 31.

    A grand jury indicted Desmaret in August 2018 on first-degree murder charges in the death of Jobbers-Miller.

    Desmaret also is facing seven other felonies, including the attempted murder of a second Fort Myers police officer who he is accused of shooting at the night of July 21, 2018.
