Officer Liam Donahue refused a Breathalyzer test and was taken to North Shore University Hospital for evaluation.




An off-duty rookie cop was busted on a drunken-driving charge after crashing his vehicle in Queens early Saturday, police said.


Officer Liam Donahue, 22, slammed into an unoccupied car on 40th Ave. near 218th St. in Bayside just after 5 a.m. He refused a Breathalyzer test and was taken to North Shore University Hospital for evaluation, cops said.


Since joining the NYPD in July, Donahue has been working out of Patrol Borough Manhattan North, according to officials.


He was charged with DWI and was awaiting arraignment Saturday afternoon.


Donahue was the second cop to be arrested this week.


On Wednesday, Officer Robert McEachern, 38, was charged with reckless endangerment and prohibited use of a weapon after firing his gun in the air eight times outside a Bronx bar in October.
