FORT MYERS, Fla. -- The man charged with shooting and killing Officer Adam Jobbers-Miller is expected to appear in court Monday.

Desmaret had been in and out of jail 11 times since 2010 in several counties.  His previous charges range from burglary to assault.

In a few cases, he was found mentally incompetent to stand trial.

Desmaret is now facing at least eight criminal charges, including 1st Degree Murder.
