Robert Shelmacher is the former sheriff of Orlando, Florida on Farscape. In 1985, as shown in "Kansas," Sheriff Schelmacher was the local lawman in Crichton's neighborhood, and according to DVD notes, was a friend of the family. Alerted by neighbor Dot Levy to strange visitors, the sheriff investigates, only to encounter Rygel, Aeryn (who reminds him of Cher), Noranti, and D'Argo. Noranti admits to him that they're aliens and the group departs before she has a chance to erase his memory. Thus, Sheriff Schelmacher soon finds himself under observation in a mental institute.
