BRADLEY -- A former firefighter for the Bradley-Prosperity Volunteer Fire Department claims Bradley's chief, Bruce James, hit him several times.

Quentin Fowler, who is currently a firefighter for the Beaver VFD, claims James punched him in the face Wednesday afternoon in the parking lot of the Bradley Market.

According to Fowler, he was sitting in his vehicle listening to scanners when he said James pulled up.

“He punches me in the face several times and I roll up my window up and he’s yanking my door handle yelling get out of the vehicle" said Fowler.

West Virginia State Police are looking into Fowler's allegations.
