COURT REPORT 3A Mayor drove drunk 50-plus times; rejected help: Too busy Witt ordered to get treatment anyway after DUI; faces reprimand from Supreme Court.
By CARL MCKINNEY COURTESY [email protected]
Lake City mayor and local attorney Stephen Witt told a sub- stance abuse evaluator that he’d driven under the influence of alcohol on dozens of occasions, but denied having a drinking problem and claimed he had too many professional obligations to attend treatment, court records show. The state’s high court told him to seek treatment anyway. Gleason Place The Florida Supreme Court in May ordered Witt to sign a treatment contract after the Florida Bar filed a complaint over a drunk-driv- ing incident last year. Witt, whom the court placed on probation for the length of the contract, said he will fully comply. “I will do whatever they want me to do,” Witt sold for $18M Witt said Friday. Last August, the Bar filed a complaint against Witt just days before he struck a plea deal for driving under the influence in January 2017. CCSD The Bar accused Witt of violating multiple rules for minor and criminal misconduct for the incident. Bar officials referred Witt to Florida Lawyers Assistance for a substance abuse evalu- School ation, which took place in May 2017, court records show. During the evaluation, Witt admitted to “excessive alcohol use,” saying he’d tried to quit drinking at least 20 times and grades had driven under the influence at least 50 times, according to a referee’s report submitted to Witt admitted to holding the court. excessive alcohol The evaluator diagnosed Witt with a “moderate alcohol use consumption on steady disorder” and recommended a the night of the two-year monitoring contract DUI, but claimed BY STEVE WILSON including random testing and COREY ARWOOD/Lake City Reporter that it was ‘an [email protected] support group meetings.

A shopping center in the commercial heart of Lake City was sold by the Tennessee-based company that pitched purchase of the land with incentives from local taxpayers two years ago. The sale of the 129,000 square foot shopping center and its 1.3 acre land out par- cel was made for $18.5 mil- lion, a Friday press release said. A global real estate advi- sory firm, NKF Capital Markets, brokered the deal for the Chattanooga-based real estate development and investment compa- ny, Hutton, and published information about the sale. However, little is known about the buyers. The purchaser of the property was named in a Friday press release as North Lauderdale Associates.
