September 15, 2010
The State Attorney’s Office is now reviewing the case of the shooting death of a Cottage Hill man during a July traffic stop.
Clifton Salter, 59, was shot multiple times during a Florida Highway Patrol traffic stop on Pine Forest Road. Salter also suffered at least one self-inflicted gunshot wood, according to the Florida Department of Law Enforcement.
The FDLE has turned the results of their investigation over to the State Attorney’s Office. It is expected that the State Attorney’s Office could release the findings of its case review in the next few days.
Salter suffered from post traumatic stress disorder, according to his brother, Santa Rosa County Commissioner Don Salter. He was a retired BellSouth customer service supervisor and a Vietnam veteran.
The shooting happened at 8:27 a.m. on July 14 on Pine Forest Road just north of Longleaf Drive, about a mile from the Pensacola Interstate Fairgrounds.
