County Deputy Fired After Domestic Violence Arrest"},"content":{"rendered":"<p><strong>INVERNESS &#8211;\u00a0<\/strong>A Citrus County Deputy lost her job for the second time at the Sheriff&#8217;s Office after a December 10th arrest where she was charged with allegedly battering her former boyfriend, according to a Facebook post on the Citrus County Sheriff&#8217;s Office&#8217;s page.<\/p>\n<p>According to the post, deputies responded to the home of 29-year-old Bryan Hesse in Inverness in reference to a domestic violence call on Saturday, December 10 just after 3:00 am.<\/p>\n<p>When Deputies arrived at the home, Hesse stated that 25-year-old Heather Cogar had stopped by his home and during her visit, alleged that Cogar struck Hesse causing minor injuries.<\/p>\n<p>Cogar was not at the home when deputies arrived but were found later that morning.<\/p>\n<p>Cogar was arrested and charged with one count of domestic battery and jailed at the Citrus County Jail without bond.<\/p>\n<p>Cogar was immediately fired from her position as a Citrus County Deputy making it the second time she has been fired in her three years serving the Sheriff&#8217;s Office.<\/p>\n<p>She was previously fired in 2014 complaints were filed against her by other deputies about her behavior while off duty.<\/p>\n<p>In one complaint, the deputy stated that she engaged in a high-speed chase with him while wearing a mask on February 26.<\/p>\n<p>The complaint stated that while off duty, Cogar had texted a dispatcher asking for the location of any deputies patrolling the north part of Citrus County and then drove in that area until she found the deputies.<\/p>\n<p>Cogar then began to chase one deputy while wearing a mask exceeding speeds of 70 miles per hour causing the deputy to request backup and stop Cogar with their weapons drawn not knowing who was in the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>The second complaint against Cogar stated that Cogar, while off duty, attempted to get a patrolling deputy to look at her friend&#8217;s breasts who was sitting topless in the passenger seat on March 7 as she drove next to the patrol vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>Cogar was terminated from the Sheriff&#8217;s Department due to the complaints filed against her but was rehired after she filed an appeal and won.<script
