Derek Weber Arrested After Driving Through Garage Door

PORT LABELLE, FL. -- Derek Evan Weber was arrested Sunday after driving an SUV through a Lee County Deputy's garage door in a Port LaBelle neighborhood on Springview Circle in Hendry county. Weber lived across the street from the victim's home. 

An incident took place Saturday breaking patrol car windows and damaging the home owner's vehicle. The video above was possible after law enforcement secretly installed security cameras Saturday after the first incident in order to catch any illegal acts that might occur at the home, which then took place Sunday when the vehicle crashed through the garage door..

Among many felony charges, he was arrested for firing a 9mm handgun in a residential area and into the home during the incident.

Felony Charges filed against Weber today are: 

Premeditated murder
Burglary
Damage of property
Criminal mischief
Firing a weapon from a vehicle
Firing a weapon into a building
Firing a weapon in or on residential property
Displaying a firearm during a felony
Aggravated assault with a weapon

Editor's Note: After noting Weber's name has been removed or redacted from Hendry county tax appraiser property owner records, (which is usually the case of those working in law enforcement or investigations in order to protect their privacy) the Lee County Sheriff's office says he did not work for them. The question has been asked of the Hendry Sheriff's office of Weber's employment but no reply has been received.
