Police Department has resigned amid allegations he demanded sex from a subordinate in exchange for opportunities to earn extra pay.John Chell, the department’s chief of patrol, will take over as interim chief of department and Philip Rivera will assume Chell’s duties as the head of the patrol division, the department said.
Epps was the department’s top earner in fiscal year 2024, earning more than $400,000, according to local media reports — more than half of it in overtime pay. But Mayor Eric Adams, a former police captain, said at an unrelated event Saturday that the allegations against Maddrey were “extremely concerning and alarming” and that the department was conducting a full review, the New York Post reported.Maddrey’s attorney, Lambros Lambrou, also didn’t respond to a request for comment on the various allegations. However, in a statement to the New York Post, he dismissed Epps’ claims as “completely meritless.
Meanwhile, Maddrey has been the subject of other sexual misconduct allegations, including one from a police captain who says she dealt with repeated unwanted advances.
