08.25.2006 - FORT MYERS: A Lee County deputy has resigned after being arrested for lying about the location of a domestic violence incident.
Officer Khristina Noel Umberger, 29, handed in her resignation Wednesday afternoon. She was charged Tuesday with violating a court's domestic violence protection order.
Deputies say Umberger was ordered by the court to meet her ex, Steven Ramunni, at the Lehigh Acres sheriff's substation to exchange the couple's son for child visitation.
Umberger filed a report with deputies stating that Ramunni encountered her in a parking lot after she waited for 30 minutes for him at the substation Sunday morning.
She told authorities of a violent encounter, where Ramunni punched her, forcibly took their boy and then damaged her car.
But deputies say she wasn't in the parking lot - instead the confrontation between the two happened at Umberger's home on Eagle Point Circle in the Gateway community.
That violated the court order and prompted deputies to arrest Umberger on the misdemeanor charge.
