GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. (WOOD) — Sources close to the investigation have confirmed the identities of three Grand Rapids officers who were suspended in connection to an alcohol-related crash involving an ex-assistant prosecutor.
Sgt. Thomas Warwick, Lt. Matthew Janiskee and Officer Adam Ickes are the officers who have been suspended without pay, pending a termination hearing, according to three sources.
The officers were at the center of an internal investigation and an investigation by Michigan State Police after former Assistant Prosecutor Josh Kuiper crashed his car into a parked vehicle. Kuiper, 42, was the at-fault driver in a wrong-way head-on crash with a parked car on Union Avenue SE. The car’s owner was injured in the collision, which happened around 12:30 a.m. on Nov. 19.
The Grand Rapids Police Department announced actions against the three officers Saturday, but did not disclose their names. The officer, sergeant and lieutenant were previously on administrative leave during the investigation.
