The Yellow Springs police officer who “deviated” from orders while overseeing the New Year’s Eve events that lead to an altercation with citizens and the abrupt resignation of the police chief has been identified.

The officer is R.J. Hawley and he has worked two years as a member of the Village of Yellow Springs Police Department, according to Village Manager Patti Bates.

Hawley is on medical leave, stemming from Sunday’s events, and has not been able to answer any questions in the pending investigation, Bates said.
