Cop Arrested After Taking Photos Of His Wife Kissing Police Chief: Divorce Complaint

Cleveland Police Chief Dennis Maddux has returned to his job as captain of the police department's support services division.

"He has been reassigned," said Evie West, information officer for the city police department.

Maddux only served in the position for one day before being removed by City Manager Janice Casteel on March 2 following a weekend altercation involving him, police officer Jeff Griggs and Griggs' wife, Cindy.

The former police chief and 28-year veteran of the department served as interim chief since January. In 2012, he was promoted to captain of support services.

According to an affidavit filed by the McMinn County Sheriff's Office, Griggs was charged with domestic assault after his wife claimed he bit her fingers when she tried to remove a memory card from his camera.

Griggs had been covertly photographing his wife and Maddux, who were kissing in a borrowed parked vehicle, according to his March 2 complaint for divorce.
