A deputy chief with a southwest Florida fire department will resign after being arrested and charged with driving under the influence.

David Quaderer cited “recent events” in announcing his resignation in a brief letter to the chief of the North Port Fire Rescue.

Quaderer worked as the department’s deputy chief of administration and had been with the agency since 2006.

He was stopped in a department-issued vehicle early Friday morning. According to an arrest report, he refused a field sobriety test.

Quaderer has been released on $750 bond.

If you have been arrested for a drunk driving offense in North Port or anywhere else in Sarasota County you should know you only have 10 days from the date you were arrested for DUI to request an administrative review hearing to retain your driving privileges. At this hearing it is advised you bring a Sarasota DUI lawyer with you to ensure the best case scenario.

If you would merely like to discuss your DUI charge we welcome you to contact the North Port DUI Attorneys here at Musca Law for a free confidential consultation.

If you have been charged with a drunk driving offense in Sarasota your freedom is in Jeopardy. If you are convicted you stand to lose your license, pay hefty fines and suffer other drastic criminal penalties. In order to avoid this misery you need a lawyer who knows how to handle these cases and you will find them at Musca Law. With over 100 years of combined legal experience, the Sarasota County DUI attorneys at Musca Law provide a team approach building upon our combined strengths and exploiting the weaknesses of the prosecution.

Many times when accused of a Sarasota DUI people will feel there is no way they can avoid being convicted, but they are usually wrong.  Many times, in all negativity, they will say something like:

• ” There is physical evidence that ties me to the scene.”
• ” There is a witness volunteering to testify against me.”
• ” I admitted my guilt.”

However, all of this may not matter. By working with a DUI attorney at our firm you have the opportunity to fight back. We can conduct an independent investigation to determine whether there is evidence in your favor, can work with experts in specific fields to prove where law enforcement or the prosecution may be wrong, and can examine and cross-examine witnesses in order to question the validity of the prosecution’s case or to strengthen your defense. View our track record of DUI Cases here.

With all of this said, you still have to fill out the form to the right or pick up the phone to schedule your free confidential consultation to go over your Sarasota DUI charge. We look forward to working with you.

People who have had too much to drink during Super Bowl weekend will be able to take their car home without driving. Or paying.

AAA Auto Club South and Budweiser sponsor a free service with its roots in Florida called Tow to Go. It sends a tow company to pick up cars and the drivers who have had a few – or a lot – too many at a bar or private party.
