Plainfield officer involved in fatal crash resigns

PLAINFIELD, Ind. (WISH) — The Plainfield Police Department said an officer involved in a fatal crash in late August is no longer with the department.

Westerfield resigned on Friday.

The Avon Police Department is handling the investigation. The Plainfield Police Department didn’t say if the case was referred to the Hendricks County Prosecutor’s Office.
