New Mexico: Witness Says Man Did Not Drive at Police

New Mexico Law Enforcement

A witness disputes the State Police account of what happened before an officer shot at a 72-year-old New York man’s vehicle, wounding the man, who’d been driving the wrong way on Interstate 25 at night last weekend. Helen Vargas of Romeroville told the Las Vegas Optic that the van driver didn’t drive aggressively toward an officer or his vehicle, as State Police have maintained.
