Body camera footage from August 2025 shows U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent Scott Thomas Deiseroth, 42, being pulled over on the Seven Mile Bridge in the Florida Keys after deputies received multiple calls about erratic driving. The stop quickly escalated when Deiseroth, with his two young sons in the vehicle, questioned one deputy's nationality during the encounter.

Deputies noted a strong smell of alcohol and observed Deiseroth struggling with sobriety tests, including walking in a straight line and reciting numbers. He admitted to consuming about four drinks but couldn't clearly describe what he had been drinking. The situation intensified when deputies moved to arrest him for DUI and child endangerment, prompting Deiseroth to resist and express fear of losing custody during his ongoing divorce.

The incident drew national attention after the footage went viral, raising questions about accountability and privilege when federal law enforcement officers become suspects. Deiseroth pleaded no contest to the DUI charge in late 2025, receiving one year of probation and a revoked driver's license. Prosecutors declined to pursue additional charges of child neglect and resisting arrest, a decision that sparked criticism from legal observers and social commentators.
