Bond Reduction Denied For Former Huntington Police Captain
WEST VIRGINIA....
Former Huntington Police Captain, 80 year old Foster "Pete" Bowen, appeared in court Friday to ask Cabell County Circuit Judge Dan O'Hanlon to reduce his one million dollar bond, but that request was denied. Bowen is charged with 38 counts of sexual abuse in an indictment which details numerous allegations of oral sex and sodomy involving what was, at the time, young boys. Cabell County Prosecutor Chris Chiles says he feels strongly that Bowen remains a threat to the community. Chiles says eight victims claim Bowen told them, 'If you tell, I'll kill you, your family and then myself."
