A Florida city councilman allegedly found with cocaine in his shoe after drunkenly trying to evade police on a motorcycle has resigned. Pete Filiberto, a Republican from Palm Bay, had initially resisted calls to step down, but he announced his exit on Friday. Among Filiberto’s transgressions in the Saturday night incident: He was speeding, he had a suspended license, and he refused a Breathalyzer. A special election will now be held to replace him.
