"Pawtucket Officer Faces Police Threat Charges Following DUI Arrest"

A Pawtucket police officer, Daniel Dolan, was arrested for driving under the influence and reckless driving. He is also accused of making violent threats towards officers in Coventry. Dolan allegedly made comments like "next time I'm shooting" and "next time I'm killing you [expletive]." He faces charges of threats to public officials, DUI, and reckless driving. Dolan, who is currently on paid leave for a separate case, was previously acquitted of assault charges for shooting and wounding a teenager. The city is now seeking to fire him, and his employment status is being determined through the Law Enforcement Officers' Bill of Rights process.
