TONIGHT, A MARCO ISLAND DOCTOR, WELL KNOWN FOR HIS CHARITY WORK AND MILITARY SERVICE, IS SITTING IN A JAIL CELL.
ANDREW GUIDRY IS ACCUSED OF TOUCHING, TEXTING, AND TELLING A FORMER PATIENT HALF HIS AGE, HE LOVED HER.
IT'S HIS 7TH ARREST.
NOW, THE STATE IS SUSPENDING HIS LICENSE.
NBC2'S GABY FLEISCHMAN REPORTS ON THE FATHER OF TWO YOUNG CHILDREN, WHO IS IN A LOT OF TROUBLE, PERSONALLY AND PROFESSIONALLY.
Return to index of stories...
"Everybody knows the name and knows who it is."
HE'S ONE OF MARCO'S MOST WELL-RESPECTED DOCTORS--
49-YEAR-OLD ANDREW GUIDRY HAS BEEN PRACTICING MEDICINE ON THE ISLAND FOR NEARLY TWO DECADES.
"His reputation has been going downhill."
A REPUTATION TAINTED BACK IN 2009--
WHEN HE WAS ACCUSED OF SOLICITING SEX FOR MEDICAL SERVICES HIS PATIENT COULDNT AFFORD.
"It's just crazy stuff."
ACCORDING TO A COMPLAINT--
AT A APPOINTMENT WITH THE 24-YEAR-OLD PATIENT--
GUIDRY TRIED TO "REMOVE HER BRA, TOUCH HER BREAST, AND UNZIP HER PANTS."
IN EXCHANGE FOR HIS SERVICES, GUIDRY TOLD HER T HE WANTED SEX.
"I've heard about form other people that have gone to him, they say he's a good doctor, they like him, but the things that he gets into, the things that he does, is not really a good reputation for the island."
THEN CAME MORE ARRESTS--
MOST FOR DOMESTIC BATTERY INVOLVING HIS WIFE-- WHO LATER DROPPED THE CHARGES.
EARLIER THIS MONTH, GUIDRY VIOLATED A RESTRAINING ORDER SHE SET AGAISNT HIM--
THAT LANDED HIM BACK IN JAIL.
"Guidry has been arrested 7 times sine 2009. This week the department of health suspended Guidry's license indefinitely-- so if and when he gets out of jail, he wont be able to practice medicine here."
"I think they did the right thing, I think they really did the right thing."
THE SUSPENSION ONLY CITES THE SEXUAL MISCONDUCT CASE.
GUIDRY DIDNT DISPUTE THE ALLEGATIONS AND IS BEING ORDERED TO PAY THE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH $10-THOUSAND DOLLARS.
HE'LL REMAIN ON PROBATION WHEN HIS LISENCE IS REINSTATED.
"Kinda makes you leery about wanting to go to him again which I wouldn't."
"I'm glad he's not my doctor."

Guillermo Soto/East Naples/8:31 "Never seen this before, feel a little depressed because things like this don't always happen."
THE AFTERMATH OF A BLAZE THAT RIPPED THROUGH ONE FAMILY'S BACKYARD.
Guillermo Soto/East Naples/7:12 "Everything was on fire.
ONE THAT COULD'VE BEEN TRAGIC, IF IT WASN'T FOR A FAMILY HERO.
Guillermo Soto/8:12 "Things would have been a lot worse, a lot worse."
IT STARTED AT 3 O CLOCK THIS MORNING---THE SOTO'S WERE SOUND ASLEEP WHEN THEIR LABRADOR RETRIEVER "BLACK" WOKE THEM UP.
Guillermo Soto/9:59 "The dog kept barking and because the dog barks, thought there might be someone out here so came out to see and saw the fire."
THAT'S WHEN SOTO CALLED 9-1-1, BRINGING THE EAST NAPLES FIRE DEPARTMENT TO THEIR GREENWAY ROAD HOME.
Kingman Schuldt/Chief, East Naples Fire Rescue/15:15 "First units on the scene reported a full involved structure fire. Had extensive fire inside the structure, could not make an interior attack."
BECAUSE OF "BLACK", CREWS WERE ABLE TO CONTAIN THE FLAMES BEFORE THEY COULD SPREAD.
Guillermo Soto/9:43 "It was about 75 feet from the house, could've been a lot worse, could've lost the house too."
RICK RITTER/NEWS AT 6:00/13:54 "The family owns a landscaping business which is what the garage was used for, to store equipment. Two bobcats and multiple that were in here are a complete loss, valued over $100,000. The crazy thing is the fire was never able to hit these propane tanks surrounding the area, all thanks to Black."
Kingman Schuldt/16:16 "It's one of those great stories where they talk about the animals knowing what's going on."
THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE IS STILL A MYSTERY--BUT IT'S NO MYSTERY FIREFIGHTERS COULDN'T HAVE ACTED QUICKLY--WITHOUT THE LAB.
Kingman Schuldt/16:41 "Actually the dog did save the day."
Guillermo Soto/7:58 "Very happy for the dog."

THIS WEATHERCAST HAS BEEN PREPARED BY THE NBC2 WEATHER STAFF.
IT IS NOT A VERBATIM OF WHAT IS BEING SAID, BUT IS THE FORECAST FOR OUR AREA.
SUNSHINE TO RETURN
Clouds were in abundance for us on Friday. The skies had a dreary look, yes, but the sunshine will soon return!
The big question… Will it return this weekend? Well, let me take you through the changes and let you know.
We have two systems at play in our local weather pattern. First, high pressure is nudging into the state, and it's bringing low level clouds from the Atlantic to the area. Next is a piece of energy in the upper portions of the atmosphere that made its way over from Texas. It's also giving us added clouds, but they're in the high variety.
So we have clouds coming in from both the east and west. Thankfully, the system that came from Texas will move out by tomorrow afternoon, and guess what that means?
The sun is back!
Thus, we're going to call Saturday, Sunday, and Monday partly sunny. Morning lows will be around 60, and daytime highs - get ready - warming up to the lower if not mid 80s! Not only do we get the sun in full force, we get a warming trend, too.
But that's why we live in Florida, right?
As we go into Tuesday we'll see the clouds increase due to another cold front approaching. However, it's going to become disorganized and fall apart as it gets closer. That's been the trend so far this season, fronts completely dying before reach the region. This means no cold air and no rainfall.
Clouds? Yes, but only for Tuesday and Wednesday. After midweek the sun is back with a vengeance, and the warm temperatures continue.
Boaters use caution if you go out as winds will be coming from the E-NE at 15 to 20 knots.

U-S REPRESENTATIVE TOM ROONEY PROPOSED A BILL THAT WOULD BROADEN THE BAN ON SNAKES. ADDING BOA CONSTRICTORS AND ANACONDAS TO THE LIST-- SAYING QUOTE:
graphic
Large, invasive snakes are causing severe damage to Florida's environment, and they represent a danger to our communities. These snakes have been responsible for at least 15 deaths, and they've nearly wiped out the populations of several small mammals in parts of the Everglades. Banning the importation of these dangerous snakes is critical to the survival of the Everglades and its surrounding ecosystems, which simply cannot accommodate these massive predators."
BUT OPPONENTS SAY PROBLEMS STOP AT THE FLORIDA LINE-- MAKING A FEDERAL BAN UNNESSARY.
