Jeffrey Maddrey, a chief for the New York Police Department’s Brooklyn Borough division, found himself in hot water Thursday after a former employee charged him on Facebook with sleeping with subordinates, particularly married women, herself very much included.
Tabatha Foster, a former cop who is now “pursuing a music career,” according to the New York Daily News, went on a Facebook tear charging Maddrey with “sleeping with police officers on the job”; “chasing pregnant girls”; and hinting that he might have pulled some strings to get her ex-husband fired and thereby disrupted her child support.
“When I was in the hospital, this fool had the audacity to come for Azz while I had iv in my arm. He is so greedy for Azz,” Foster wrote. She then got much, much more graphic about his sexual preferences.
It’s unclear, however, how seriously Foster’s very public charges are being taken. The Daily News itself paints her as a possible publicity hound whose social media posts are “filled with provocative photos.”
An anonymous friend of Maddrey told the paper that Foster was really at fault here.
“She’s been stalking and harassing him for about two years. She would send him naked pictures of herself to him and beg him to have sex. She would try to talk to him every day and ask him for his help. She even sits in front of his house sometimes,” the friend said.
Reached for comment, Sgt. Brendan Ryan told the Washington Examiner only that “The NYPD is aware of the allegations and Facebook posts. The Internal Affairs Bureau is reviewing those allegations.”
