An off-duty rookie cop was
busted on a drunken-driving charge after crashing his vehicle in Queens early
Saturday, police said.
Officer Liam Donahue, 22,
slammed into an unoccupied car on 40th Ave. near 218th St. in Bayside just
after 5 a.m. He refused a Breathalyzer test and was taken to North Shore
University Hospital for evaluation, cops said.
Since joining the NYPD in July,
Donahue has been working out of Patrol Borough Manhattan North, according to
officials.
He was charged with DWI and was
awaiting arraignment Saturday afternoon.
Donahue was the second cop to
be arrested this week.
On Wednesday, Officer Robert
McEachern, 38, was charged with reckless endangerment and prohibited use of a
weapon after firing his gun in the air eight times outside a Bronx bar in
October.
