PITTSBURGH — A tow truck driver who shot a rival driver during an argument, paralyzing him will not face charges, according the victim's attorney.
Jason Stotlemeyer and Jerald Robinson got into an argument along Washington Boulevard on Feb 2. When Stotlemeyer grabbed a bat out of his truck, Robinson shot him, police said. Stotlemeyer is now paralyzed from the chest down.
Robinson will not be charged because police determined he acted in self-defense.
Stotlemeyer's attorney, Casey White, said he will pursue a civil case and hopes that Pittsburgh changes its towing regulations to make it safer for drivers.
