In July, Adams was involved in a crash at Old Shell Road and Mobile Infirmary Boulevard that killed motorcyclist Sumner Howard.

An investigation by FOX10 News reporter Ariel Mallory revealed that Adams was involved in a total of four crashes last year, including the fatal wreck.

The Mobile Police Department said Adams voluntarily resigned three weeks ago. According to Officer Roderick Miles, MPD spokesman, the resignation was unrelated to the crash investigation.

This is a developing story.
