PAINTSVILLE, Ky. — A former Paintsville police officer has been indicted for DUI and other charges for an incident we first reported back in May.

Former patrolman James Clifford Bradley, 37, of Paintsville, turned himself in Monday morning, following his indictment on Friday. Bradley was out on bond, following his arrest May 18.

Back then, police pulled him over on a side-by-side coming out of the Taco Bell drive-thru, after they received a call from the store saying he appeared to be intoxicated. According to the police report, in addition to Bradley, there was one other adult and five children on the ATV.

When officers approached, they reported smelling a strong odor of alcohol, but Bradley said hadn’t had anything to drink for about two hours. After Bradley failed a field sobriety test, he was taken to Paintsville ARH to have blood drawn to determine his impairment level.

Police say Bradley refused to give blood and scuffled with officers, before finally allowing blood to be drawn.

In an interview with Mountain Top News, Bradley gave a different version of events, while maintaining he is innocent. He said he was the victim of a plot by four officers who wanted him off the force, but said he would provide evidence of at a later time.

On Friday, he was indicted on charges of DUI, two counts of assaulting an officer, five counts of wanton endangerment and other charges.

He is currently being held on a $25,000 cash bond.
