GRAND RAPIDS, MI - Another Grand Rapids Police officer has negotiated to keep his job with the department after his involvement in the investigation of a wrong-way crash with a former Kent County assistant prosecutor.

Sgt. Thomas Warwick will be suspended without pay for 160 days, and will be demoted to the rank of officer, city officials said Wednesday.

It's a more severe punishment than the 30-day unpaid suspension that Officer Adam Ickes will receive.

Police Chief David Rahinsky recommended firing Warwick and Ickes, as well as Lt. Matthew Janiskee, for their involvement investigating the wrong-way crash of former Assistant Prosecutor Josh Kuiper in November. All three have been suspended without pay since Jan. 27.

Ickes, who was the officer on the scene the night of the crash, negotiated the punishment with the city and the police union last week. Tuesday, Feb. 21, Warwick reached a similar settlement agreement by accepting responsibility for his actions on that day, city officials said.

Kuiper drove the wrong way on a one-way street and hit a car during the early morning hours of Nov. 19, 2016, injuring a man. Police put Kuiper through dexterity tests but did not administer a preliminary breath test.

Ickes called from the scene that night to report to his watch commander, Janiskee, that Kuiper was "hammered," according to the court filings.

Warwick and Janiskee were both inside the police station when Ickes called, but Warwick headed to the scene of the crash and later drove Kuiper home, according to the court filings.

Kuiper has been charged with reckless driving causing serious injury -- a felony that carries a possible five-year sentence -- as well as with a misdemeanor moving violation.

A termination hearing for Janiskee is set for March 7.
