Four NYPD officers were stripped of their guns for safety purposes after a female cop exposed her sergeant boyfriend’s affair with a married colleague in steamy photos shared to his personal Instagram page.
In a rage, scorned NYPD Officer Tyeis Coppin posted the intimate pictures she discovered of her man, Sgt. Kandou Worley, and his married subordinate, Stephanie Gallardo, in late December.
In one photo, a shirtless Worley embraces Gallardo from behind as she sports a smile, wet hair and a bra.
In another photo, Gallardo is seen resting her head on Worley’s chest as he runs his hand through her hair.
Coppin captioned in one of the snapshots: ‘She’s someone’s wife, she’s not my girl tho… I have one and this is not her!!!!’
‘I told my girl I loved her 10 mins b4 I f***ed this one,’ Coppin quipped in another.

The New York Post reported from an an internal NYPD document that Worley, Gallardo and her husband Cristian Gallardo are each members of the elite Strategic Response Group.
The Strategic Response Group responds to ‘citywide mobilizations, civil disorders, and major events with highly trained personnel and specialized equipment,’ the department’s website said.
A source from the department said the officers were stripped of their weapons because there is ‘potential for violent outcomes due to the sensitive nature of infidelity,’ according to the Post.
Lieutenant John Grimpel told the local paper that relationships between superiors and subordinates are not a violation of the NYPD Patrol Guide.

Grimpel said an exception would be if one of the parties worked as a supervisor in the police academy.
‘Any police officer in the academy cannot have a relationship with a recruit in the academy.’
The New York Daily News further reported that Gallardo married her husband in 2014, and the pair have a toddler-aged daughter together.
The report said that while the two officers are still living in the same home, they are separated.
Gallardo claimed she never had sex with Worley, despite the hot and heavy photos showing them pressed up against one another, wearing little clothing.
Gallardo said the ‘personal relationship’ lasted from September to October 2018.
