HOBBS, N.M. (AP) - A Lovington police officer has been cleared for shooting at a burglary suspect during an October 2017 shooting.

The Hobbs News-Sun reports that the Fifth Judicial District Attorney’s Office won’t pursue charges against officer Shawn Glashauckas (glah-SHAU’-kahs) after an investigation found the officer acted appropriately.

Authorities say Glashauckas opened fire at a burglary suspect who had escape police custody. Police say the suspect was arrested after a short foot pursuit and was not hit by gunfire.
