COAL HILL - A prosecutor has cleared Coal Hill's police chief after an October shooting of a man outside of a Veterans of Foreign War post.
Prosecutor David Gibbons says Chief David Pilkington was justified in shooting Bronson Rofkhar, an active duty member of the military. The prosecutor says Pilkington shot Rofkhar, 24, of Hartman after he drove his pickup truck toward the police chief and hit him with his side-view mirror.
Gibbons says Rofkhar was involved in a fight at the post earlier in the day on Oct. 11 and ignored Pilkington's orders to stop before getting in the truck.
Arkansas State Police investigated the shooting while Pilkington was on administrative leave.
Prosecutors say they are considering filing aggravated assault charges against Rofkh

I say the cop is guilty and should get the electric chair.
