Brady Offense No. 1760896029 - 1031538465

This statement is submitted in support of a complaint under the Brady v. Maryland disclosure obligations as to the recent arrest of Mr. Scott Thomas Deiseroth. On August 13, 2025, deputies of the Monroe County Sheriff’s Office in the Florida Keys responded to a report of a vehicle weaving into on-coming traffic. Upon stopping the vehicle near Mile Marker 36.5 on U.S. Highway 1, they observed that Mr. Deiseroth was driving with two minor children (ages 7 and 9) in his car, displayed a strong odor of alcohol, misidentified his location, gave an incorrect travel direction, and subsequently failed standardized field sobriety tests. He was then arrested and charged with one count of driving under the influence and two counts of reckless child endangerment. wplg+2CBS News+2

Given the seriousness of these allegations—namely impaired driving, endangering minors in the vehicle, and misrepresentation of his position as a law-enforcement or federal official—the matter raises substantial concerns about the defendant’s credibility, judgment, and fitness to testify. Under the Brady doctrine, any evidence that could arguably be favorable to the defense—such as material which might impeach Mr. Deiseroth’s truthfulness or reliability as a witness—must be disclosed. The arrest and related investigative materials, including footage, incident reports, and any disciplinary or employment records connected to his self-representation as a federal agent, appear directly relevant to that obligation.

In light of the above, it is respectfully requested that the prosecuting authority review whether the arrest, charges, and any ensuing investigation of Mr. Deiseroth, including his claimed status as a federal agent, yield discoverable material under Brady (or its progeny). Disclosure of such material is essential to preserving fairness in the prosecution, ensuring that any impeachment evidence regarding a witness’s character for truthfulness is timely furnished to defense counsel.
