A rookie Warwick police officer
involved in an off-duty car accident has resigned amid questions about why the
initial police report left out allegations that the officer drank alcohol and
texted on his cellphone before the crash. Zachary Davis, 31, resigned from the
force Feb. 10 after being suspended in connection with the head-on crash in
Warwick on Dec. 17. Davis’s resignation was first reported by WPRI-TV this
week. Two other officers were suspended in connection with the police report,
which was later changed to add that Davis acknowledged drinking alcohol and
texting just before the accident. No one was injured in the crash
