Police Chief suspended without pay after hackers post racy photo of him and gun-toting woman from his Facebook page

Small town Pennsylvania police chief Tom Keller has been suspended without pay because of a raunchy Facebook picture.

Keller, of Confluence, appears to be intoxicated in the photo, which depicts him wrapping his arm around an unidentified woman who has one pistol in her hand, and another stuffed down the front of her jeans.



Keller told his Facebook followers that he did not remember when the photo was taken.



Victim: Police chief Tom Keller claims the racy photo was put on his Facebook account by hackers and that he didn't know when it was taken

He suspected a hacker posted it to embarrass him.

'A friend that was at our house the whole night called and asked when we took this pic? I don’t remember,' he wrote on Facebook.

He has been on the Confluence force for a dozen years, half of which he's spent as chief.



'I know that’s what hurts the community,' Confluence Mayor Allen Gyorko told KDKA . 'We’re a little distraught about it.'

Still, Gyorko was forgiving.



'In the winter, people get a little, what you call, cabin fever, you know. And they do goofy things,' he said.

He has, however, put Keller on unpaid administrative leave.



Keller has filed a complaint with the state police that someone had hacked his Facebook, telling reporters that the hacker was 'just trying to embarrass him.'

He will remain suspended until Gyorko meets with borough council member to figure out the next best step.



Keller said the experience is a cautionary tale.
