Detroit Police Chief Suspended After Affair With Fellow Officer Is Exposed When She Posts a Picture With Gun In Her Mouth On Twitter!! -- Photo Inside

Detroit's top law enforcement officer has been suspended amid allegations that he had a sexual relationship with a subordinate. Chief Ralph Godbee's affair with Angelica Robinson, an internal affairs officer, emerged after she posted a photo with her service weapon in her mouth on Twitter.

After learning Godbee was at a police conference with another woman. Godbee had other officers locate the 37-year-old and put her under surveillance after seeing her photo.

After learning of the allegations regarding Chief Ralph Godbee, I have placed him on a 30-day suspension pending a full and thorough investigation of this matter,' the mayor said in a statement Tuesday that did not specify the allegations.

Godbee could not be reached Tuesday afternoon for comment, police spokeswoman Sgt. Eren Stephens said.

Angelica Robinson, who is married, told her attorney the relationship with Godbee lasted about a year. Godbee is separated from his wife.

David Robinson said the relationship was consensual.

Without being specific, Robinson said he will approach the city 'and see what their position would be and hopefully (the city will) do the right thing' in regard to his client.

'The chief of police exceeded his professional status,' David Robinson said. 'He's breached the trust of the department.'

Godbee and Bing have been assailed by officers in recent weeks over a 10 percent pay cut and implementation of 12-hour workdays to help cut millions of dollars from the police budget.

Officers complain the cuts and new work rules are too much to take in a city with one of the highest violent crime rates in the country.

The 287 murders committed through Sept. 23 in Detroit are 26 more than at the same point last year.

Godbee was named chief in 2010 after Bing fired Evans.
