Lee County Courthouse Evacuated




At 11:15 this morning, the Lee County Courthouse was evacuated when an inmate being transported to trial jumped up and smacked a sprinkler head. This action immediately triggered the fire alarm forcing an evacuation of the entire 10 story building. The damaged sprinkler head instantly flooded the entire courtroom causing an unknown amount of damage to furniture, carpet and fixtures. The Fort Myers Fire Department arrived promptly to reset the alarm and shut off the water supply until a technician could arrive to repair the damaged sprinkler head. The building was repopulated approximately 15 minutes after being evacuated showing a true display of cooperation between all local authorities.





Judge Adams proved that he's no bureaucrat resting on his laurels as he appeared de-robed on the street corner continuing to sign legal motions. While the inmates's prank cost the county unimaginable expense and no doubt additional jail time, Judge Adams earned his share of tax payer's dollars today.
