DUNBAR, W.Va.
A Dunbar police officer has been placed on administrative leave pending an investigation into allegations that he slapped his wife about 20 times.
Fifty-year-old George Ike Rader is also accused of pressing his finger into his wife’s chest. He was charged Sunday with domestic battery.
According to the criminal complaint filed in Kanawha County Magistrate Court, Rader and his wife were arguing over showing favoritism to their children.
Rader acknowledges that he argued with his wife but says he only pushed her with his finger to get her out of his face. He denies slapping her.
Rader is free on bond.
Dunbar Police Chief Earl Whittington says criminal and internal investigations are being conducted.
