Racy Photo on Social Media Sites Puts Deputy's Job on the Line

found out the hard way about the dangers of social media.

USNews is reporting that Thaddeus Lloyd, a deputy with WCSO, has been suspended pending an investigation into a racy photo that showed up on social media sites years after being taken. Lloyd is reported to have told the Atlanta Journal Constitution that the offending picture was taken 11 years ago when he was employed with the Clarkston Police Department. He said it wasn't supposed to be made public. The picture reportedly shows Lloyd, in uniform, next to a patrol cruiser with his hands on the buttocks of a naked woman.

The information surfaced during an Channel 2 News Special on several instances of "Cops Gone Wild." Lloyd told Channel 2 he and another Clarkston police officer were off duty when they posed for the picture with "some porn star." The picture was reportedly found on a illegal cell phone confiscated from an inmate.

Lloyd was reportedly suspended last week when the Georgia Peace Officer Standards and Training Council informed WCSO that an investigation had been initiated.
