FARMINGTON, N.M.
A Farmington police officer accused of drunken driving has resigned to take another job.
Police Chief Jim Runnels says Joshua Calder gave the department two weeks' notice Wednesday because he'd found another job.
He did not say whether the drunken driving charge played a part in his decision.
Calder was charged with aggravated drunken driving earlier this month.
The charge arose from an August motorcycle crash that injured Calder's passenger.
A San Juan County deputy says Calder reported drinking three beers before the crash. Calder's friends say he drank a beer and a half.
Authorities say Calder's blood-alcohol was 0.06. Drivers with blood-alcohol between 0.04 and 0.08 are considered to have driven drunk only with additional evidence.
