ROANOKE, Va. – A federal judge has dismissed a lawsuit that a former Virginia Tech international student filed against two police officers. Zhao filed the lawsuit in 2019, after being charged but later acquitted of a firearms charge in 2018. Zhao was a Chinese citizen on a student visa when he was charged and was expelled from Virginia Tech. In his lawsuit, Zhao said the two officers involved with his criminal case violated his civil rights. A judge ruled that Zhao’s case lacked sufficient evidence and court documents show Zhao’s attorneys plan to appeal the ruling.
