Did you know that both of the arresting officers have problems?
It was always odd that the Public Information Officer (PIO), the face of the Fort Myers Police Department (FMPD) was the one arresting Adam Costello for a traffic accident. Why would such a high profile, highly political person be the arresting officer for essentially a traffic ticket.
Once we learned a bit about these people, we started to understand why.
The arresting officers were Jay Rodriguez, and Lesa Breneman.
The year after Adam’s charges came to a head, Jay Rodriguez was arrested for fabricating evidence, making up crimes (framing people), lying under oath and some other charges
The interesting part is that he was charged with falsely reporting a crime and fabricating evidence!
The other arresting officer was Lesa Breneman. Breneman was most noted for attempting to incite violence against Adam Costello and the owner of the house on Dabney Street through encouraging the creation of hate groups on Facebook that would post the addresses of Costello and the house on Dabney Street and encourage people to gather there to commit violence against the victims.
Breneman is even despised by the police union. They want her out.
FMPD is known to be extremely corrupt. So much so that the city itself hired an outside organization, the Freeh Group, to look into the corruption there.
