In court Wisner Desmaret, 29, waived his right to appear and entered a written plea of not guilty at his arraignment Monday morning.

Desmaret was indicted on first-degree murder charges in the death of Fort Myers police Officer Adam Jobbers-Miller who died from his injuries after being shot in the line of duty in July.

Desmaret was transferred to the Collier County jail as “… a cautionary move due to the nature of the crime,” according to LCSO.

Desmaret was also indicted 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.
