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

Wisner Desmaret was booked into the Lee County Jail on Sunday night.

He had been in the hospital for over a week due to injuries sustained the same night he was accused of shooting Officer Jobbers-Miller on July 21st.

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.

Officer Jobbers-Miller passed away a week after the shooting.
