He served as a police officer himself, and later police chief, in Santa Monica. The officer, who has not been named, was wearing his helmet when he was knocked into the nearby fountain. He suffered substantial injuries, but is expected to make a full recovery, according to KABC."I am thankful the occupants of the other vehicle were uninjured," Butts said in a statement Wednesday."I am thankful that the Motorcycle Officer is expected to make a full recovery. He has been on my mind and heart since the accident.
