Zach Tinker causes chaos on the police squad on 9-1-1.
Zach Tinker is hitting the primetime circuit once again. The Young and the
Restless and Days of our Lives alum had a guest-starring role on the Thursday,
November 14th episode of ABC’s medical drama, 9-1-1. He played the role of a rookie cop named Officer Sparks. 
What to Know About Officer Sparks
On Thursday’s episode, aptly titled “Hotshots,” Athena (Angela Bassett) tried to catch up with the flash mob robbers who had infiltrated Los Angeles. She pulled her hamstring when she chased after them, so she was assigned a rookie to mentor her while on duty.
Tinker took on the role of the power-hungry new cop on duty. The LAPD spent $200,000 for his training. Athena had a bad feeling about him during their first call. She learned that the new guy on the block loved the “power” that came with being a police officer.

Athena expressed her concerns about him. She quickly learned that the rookie had a terrible disposition. He declared that he was “younger, faster, and stronger” than her. Athena asked to work alone.
Things took a dark turn. During a routine traffic stop, Officer Sparks got aggressive with the driver. He assumed he pulled a taser from his holster.
He actually pulled out a loaded gun and shot the female driver, who refused to leave her vehicle. Thankfully, Athena was there in time to help ease the gruesome scene.
