A former New York police officer has filed a $100 million lawsuit against the City of New York, claiming that an NYPD chief had an affair with her. She says he beat her and they had sexual encounters in his police car and at their precinct. “I felt safe until he started hitting me,” Tabatha Foster told the New York Daily News. Foster alleges that her married superior, Jeffrey Maddrey, on one occasion beat her until she pulled a gun. “I put the gun down and my ass got beat for real,” she told reporters. “He choked me up. He threw me from side to side like I was a rag doll.” She added, “I still kept seeing him after that, like an idiot.” In response, Maddrey plans to countersue, said Roy Richter, president of the Captains Endowment Association. “The chief has years of records that document unwelcome contact from this woman,” he continued. “He is currently pursuing legal recourse to bring this harassment to an end.”
