Brussel's Mannekenpis

Well-known Riviera Beach Police Sgt. Toney Williams was placed on restricted duty while Internal Affairs sleuths dissect an incident that started when residents called 9-11 to report that Williams was peeing in their yard.

Williams, a crime watch and community policing liaison, was stripped of his badge and gun Feb. 28, according to city spokeswoman Rose Anne Brown, on suspicion of a “conduct unbecoming an officer.” He’s now assigned to the records division.

“I’m not allowed to talk to anybody,” Williams said this morning.

The incident occurred about 10 p.m. Feb. 25 on West 16th Street as Williams was off-duty.

According to the internal report obtained by Page2Live, Williams went on a loud tirade laden with four-letter words when on-duty fellow officers responded to the scene, calling one of them “@#&* cracker” and shouting “I’m still a sergeant, God damn it!” as residents watched.

“I went and took a piss in those people’s backyard, what the #$&*,” Williams yelled as he stood by his parked personal car, according to the report.

While officers smelled liquor on his breath, according to the report, one source said they weren’t sure he was drunk or “just being his loud, boisterous self.”

Williams refused several offers for a ride home and the half dozen cops left the scene when he agreed to go inside a friend’s home.

No arrest was made, even minutes later, when officers spotted Williams at the wheel of his beat up, brown Caprice.

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.

Two former members of The Enforcers bikers club were nabbed after allegedly vandalizing the motorcycle group’s Riviera Beach clubhouse.

The vandalism, says the Enforcers’ president, could be tied to a rival club based on Florida’s Left Coast, The Defenders, trying to muscle in on Riviera Beach!

And here’s the twist of this tale: The members of both The Enforcers and The Defenders are retired cops, security guards and veterans!

“We’ve heard the Defenders are trying to start a chapter right here,” said Enforcers boss Rick Sessa, a retired Riviera Beach Police lieutenant. Under his biker name Rosco, he founded the club in 2001 and has about 500 members nationally. “The two guys who were arrested left us four months ago and we’re wondering if the vandalism wasn’t their initiation for The Defenders.

“If they did it so they could get patched (admitted), they didn’t do too well.”

Randall Case, 32, a Lake Worth security guard whose biker name is Thor, and retired U.S. Coast Guard pilot Sam DeFazio, 51, of Jupiter, a.k.a. D’Bull, were charged with two counts each of criminal mischief Friday night.

DeFazio denied the duo’s involvement in the vandalism.

West Palm Beach Police, however, are investigating another incident at the private home of a current member of The Enforcers, and DeFazio admitted he and Case are suspects.

So, what’s going on here?

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.

JWoww, too rude for South Florida (click on the photo for more)

Riviera Beach’s Rapids Water Park is the latest in a lengthening list of South Florida businesses that banned MTV’s Jersey Shore from filming on their properties.

And Page2Live knows why!

I got a hold of the location contract that the producers of the hit show are trying to shove down the throats of business owners before the reality series’ self-professed goombas are allowed into restaurants, clubs and hotels — and it explains a lot.

I’m told the contract alone — not the stereotyping of Italian-Americans and blatant sexism as it has been said — has been shutting doors to the show throughout the area as filming for Season 2 started in Miami Beach last week.

The document basically gives Snooki, JWoww, The Situation and the others the right to do anything they want on a property whose owner gives up the right to hold producers, Double Guns LLC and MTV, liable for any damages.
