In the tmaptools package, read_shape yields "layer not found" error

Vote count: 0

I've used the read_shape function from the tmaptools package to import shapefiles many times successfully, but I've now encountered a strange error.

For some shapefiles the read_shape command yields message: "Error in ogrInfo(dsn = dsn, layer = layer, encoding = encoding, use_iconv = use_iconv, : Layer not found"

For other shapefiles, I have no problem at all. Here is an example of an open data shapefile for which I am getting this error: http://ift.tt/2kl3Thm

I believe the error may be related to the tmap package because I am able to open the shapefiles in question with no issues in QGIS. I'm running the current versions of RStudio, tmap, and tmaptools.

Any ideas?
