A high-ranking cop has been pushed from the force after using a police vehicle (hopefully not this one) to spy on his detective wife. Julio Ordonez joined up in 1986 and rose to the No. 2 position in the NYPD’s Manhattan Housing Bureau. But a couple years ago, the law enforcement officer—who was going through a divorce—was disciplined, first for not reporting a fight with his wife Tammie, and again for “improperly using” a police vehicle to tail her. His misdeeds didn’t go unpunished.
The cop—whose thumb had been shot during a “friendly-fire incident”—gave up 53 days of time off and paid $688 to the NYPD reports the Post. But then, instead of just retiring, he burned through eight months of accrued vacation and comp time. When that ran out at the beginning of this year he was demoted from his rank of Lt. Deputy Inspector, and then forced to quit.
