ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) - Two sheriff's deputies were cleared of wrongdoing for shooting a lottery-jackpot winner who they said refused to drop his gun when they confronted him last spring.
The Seminole-Brevard State Attorney's office ruled Thursday that Deputies Ronnie Remus and Bill Morris Jr. did not break any state laws in the April 20 shooting of Robert Swofford Jr.
The deputies were investigating break-ins at an apartment complex near Swofford's home when they confronted him in the field with a 9 mm handgun in Forest City, about 10 miles north of Orlando, according to reports.
