A Detroit deputy chief has been disciplined after video surfaced of his city-issued SUV parked in the parking lot of a bar. The Detroit Fire Department said it was Deputy Chief Robert Shinske who is seen on video parking the DFD-marked SUV outside a Dearborn bar and walking inside. Shinske has been suspended without pay for five days, sources told Local 4. Some people were expected him to get fired. A closed disciplinary hearing was held Wednesday and ended with the suspension for Shinske. The department confirmed Shinski violated policy in the video. Shinske parked the SUV outside a Dearborn bar just after 1:30 a.m. Saturday. He appeared to stagger as he got out of the vehicle.
