Virginia State Police have concluded an investigation into a Spotsylvania Sheriff’s deputy and will not be seeking criminal charges against him.
“In review of the investigative materials remitted in the investigation of Emmanel Ottero [sic], please be advised that the Commonwealth will not authorize the issuance of criminal warrant(s) in this matter,” wrote Dircia Schubert, senior assistant Commonwealth’s Attorney for Loudoun County, in an April 1 letter to Wanda Beard, a special agent with the Virginia State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigation.
The Spotsylvania Sheriff’s Office shared Beard’s letter with the Advance this week.
The Advance wrote about the investigation into Otero in December.
