A Roanoke police officer who shot a Hispanic man will not face criminal charges. 44-year-old Antonio Gomez Navarro was shot in the back February 26th. Officers said they were trying to get Navarro out of his car, when officer Randolph Rowland's gun went off. Roanoke Commonwealth's Attorney Don Caldwell told News-7 this afternoon that blood work from Navarro showed the man had a blood/alcohol level of point .28. That's nearly four times the legal limit for driving under the influence. Caldwell says it's his opinion the shooting was not a criminal act and the test confirms what officers and witnesses said that Navarro was impaired. [more]
