BRIDGEPORT — Bridgeport State’s Attorney John Smriga has concluded that Acting Police Chief Armando Perez’s former aide did not commit a crime by sending private racist messages on Facebook. NAACP leaders had wanted recently retired Police Captain Mark Straubel, who is white, prosecuted for hate crimes over the messages, some of which targeted Police Capt. Roderick Porter, Bridgeport’s highest ranking black police officer. Smriga, in an email to Connecticut NAACP President Scot Esdaile, called Straubel’s comments “repugnant and alarming.” “Which is the reason that I sought to look into the matter further,” Smriga wrote.
