Mosher's booking mug (Click on the photo for more)

A well-known Palm Beach State College adjunct professor and freshly-retired Palm Beach County Sheriff’s deputy was held overnight in the county slammer where he once worked after being arrested in a domestic violence incident.

Seventy-year-old Charlie Mosher, of Royal Palm Beach, was charged with aggravated stalking and aggravated assault after several alleged spats with his estranged wife, Norma Jean Hoefs, since last week. Hoefs, 57, declined comment but confirmed she was his victim.

Mosher allegedly harassed the lady with incessant phone calls then tailed her in his car around their gated community.

At one point, Hoefs told investigators, she had to swerve off the road to avoid Mosher, who came right at her in his vehicle.

Mosher was released on $10,000-bond about noon today.

He was relieved of duty as a reserve deputy, a volunteer position. Mosher retired from PBSO in June after 22 years as corrections and training deputy.

The six criminal justice courses he taught at the college this term — including “interpersonal skills for corrections officers” and “defensive tactics” — have ended.

The school’s spokeswoman, Dr. Grace Truman, said Mosher has been an adjunct professor since 1992. His status at the school will be evaluated before next term, as is the status of every adjunct professor, she said.

Remember the hoopla in July, when the then-Cleveland Cavaliers star LeBron James said he’d take “his talents” to South Beach?

Three days later, Miami Heat fans packed like sardines inside the American Airlines Arena downtown Miami welcomed James, new signee Chris Bosh and returning vet Dwyane Wade like they were the three kings.

Eight months later, the Heat and its threesome are lacking sorely in mental toughness, especially on defense.

The Heat were walloped by the San Antonio Spurs last night, on a nightmarish week that also include losses the Orlando Magic Thursday night and the New York Knicks a week ago.

Coming up: the Chicago Bulls tomorrow on ABC and Los Angeles Lakers Thursday, which doesn’t bode well for the Heat.

So far this season, meanwhile, our trio of $100 million-ballers and its supporting cast have won a grand total of one game against teams that matter, at the Lakers last Christmas, while piling on the easy Ws against weak teams.

Wait! Isn’t that what bullies do?

Masters

Riviera Beach Mayor Thomas Masters‘ feverish campaign to stay in office was stopped abruptly, for a few minutes.

Hizzoner was visiting a fellow preacher at the Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church the other day when his Lincoln Town Car got stuck when it bottomed out on a curb.

“I was just trying to drive out of the parking lot,” Masters said, “and I didn’t think the curb was that high.”

Masters, a Baptist bishop, said neighbors helped push the car out, and he was back on the trail.

Davis-Panier

Masters says the photo, emailed to Page2Live anonymously, is designed to make him look silly before the March 8 election.

“It’s politically motivated,” he said. “I saw my opponent (Fercella Davis-Panier) across the street when I got stuck.”

Davis-Panier’s campaign consultant, Richard Giorgio, said that Davis-Panier presence nearby was just a coincidence.

A Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office sergeant has been reassigned and is under Internal Affairs investigation today after a strange hunting-trip incident on the Tennessee-Georgia border.

Page2Live hears that Sgt. Jimmy Hightower, who works in community policing, was arrested by Tennessee authorities after a complaint from a deputy under his command, Dept. James Mackey.

Two sheriff’s office insiders who asked not to be named tell me Hightower, 43, of Loxahatchee, and four other deputies traveled to the wooded areas south of Knoxville, Tenn., a few weeks ago for a camping and deer hunting outing.

The group allegedly did quite a bit of drinking, with hard liquor being passed around.

Then, with Jupiter resident Mackey driving because he hadn’t been drinking, Hightower reportedly spotted a deer and attempted to shoot it from the window of their SUV. Hightower asked Mackey to slow down so he could aim, but the deputy refused because shooting game from a moving vehicle is illegal.

Once the SUV was stopped Mackey, 30, a four-year PBSO deputy, was allegedly assaulted and beaten by Hightower, who towers over him.

It’s Brokenheartsville for a top Palm Beach County elected official and her neighborhood activist hubby of 14 years.

Palm Beach County Clerk and Comptroller Sharon Bock’s husband filed for divorce a couple days before her birthday last week.

He’s asking for alimony, and for Sharon to pay for his lawyer.

Health care consultant and property manager Anthony Gigliotti, 68, says in the filing that his marriage to Bock is “irretrievably broken” after the two separated.

Gigliotti also points out the superior earning ability of his wife, a lawyer by trade who earns $155,844 a year as the keeper of court records.

He also wants a family judge to order the sale of their $500,000 Palm Beach Shores home so they can share the proceeds.

Still, Gigliotti, the chairman of the Singer Island Civic Association, sounds like he’s got a warm spot in his heart for his third wife.

“This (the divorce) is very disappointing,” Gigliotti said. “You sit there and wonder how you got to this point. I’d still vote for Sharon any day. She is one of this state’s best elected officials. No one’s better at what she does.”

Bock, 57, said her and Gigliotti’s priorities have changed over the years.

“We just grew in different directions,” she said.

Bock isn’t seeking alimony.

This was Bock’s second marriage. They have no children together.
