STATEN ISLAND, N.Y.-- The NYPD has yanked the promotion of a lieutenant who was one of three officers who allegedly crashed into an Arden Heights salon last month, according to report in the Daily News.

Lt. Vincent Molinini, 44, the article says, was out celebrating his promotion to commanding officer of the Force Investigation Division with co-workers before one of the off-duty cops allegedly smashed into the Hair Do or Dye Salon on Arthur Kill Road on Feb. 26.

"The discretionary designation was revoked as a result of the internal investigation," a police official told the paper.

The three cops, Molinini and Detectives Frank Muirhead and Christopher Corulla, were suspended and an internal investigation was launched, according to a spokesman for the NYPD's Deputy Commissioner of Public Information.

The officers were leaving Rookies Sports Bar when Corulla sideswiped another car and plowed into the salon, according to the New York Daily News. They waited three hours before reporting the incident.
