The Minneapolis Police Department has launched an investigation after one of its officers was recognized as an OnlyFans model by someone she pulled over.
A spokesperson for the police department confirmed the chief had ordered the investigation after the traffic stop was conducted by a patrol officer in its 4th Precinct last week.
The driver of the car that was pulled over told Fox9 News he had been speaking with the 35-year-old officer for about 10 minutes before he realized where he recognized her from.

He had apparently been following her OnlyFans account for five months, during which time he'd allegedly seen her have sex and post explicit images.
"Then we were doing a little talking and checking and I was like, ‘Man, she got an OnlyFans page. I’m on her OnlyFans page'," the driver said.
"You got to go to the VIP and you get to see the videos of her and her, I guess husband, I guess that’s who it is, they do full sex videos," he continued.
After the man identified the officer, his perspective on the traffic stop changed.

"You can’t arrest me no more; I’ve seen your private parts," he stated.
"I wouldn’t want her to be arresting me and I just saw you and your husband last night for $29.99 have sex on OnlyFans. I just can't respect you or the precinct that you’re working at."
Minneapolis Police Department's policy prohibits employees from working off duty 'under the following conditions:... any establishment that provides adult entertainment in the form of nude, semi-nude or topless exhibitions'.

After the encounter, a spokesperson for the police department said: "We take any allegations of policy violations seriously and the chief has ordered an investigation.”
Mayor Jacob Frey also shared his thoughts on the matter in a statement issued through a spokesperson, which said: "If all we’re talking about is naked pictures behind a paywall, the mayor has no issue. However, the chief will determine if there are any policy violations.”
The officer's OnlyFans site offers subscribers access to 'amateur pornography', 'sexual photos' and 'custom photos', according to the account.

Screenshots captured by Fox9 News reveal the officer described herself on the site as a 'Free spirited, Overly Optimistic, Creator of Sexy Content to Please Others'.
When asked how long colleagues and staff at the police department had been aware of the OnlyFans site, the police department did not provide an answer.
Minneapolis Police Department has also not confirmed how long it expects the internal investigation to take.
