GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — A former Rockford public safety officer charged in connection with an Ottawa County crash is now facing a second charge.
Court records show Aaron Sawyer has been charged with making a false report to police on December 9, 2021, which is the same day as the crash in Ottawa County.
The new charge has been filed in Grand Rapids District Court.
His original charge, failing to stop at the scene of a crash, is filed in Ottawa County.
