A Charleston man accused of shooting a man then dropping him off at a Charleston hospital was indicted last week.
James Bradley Green was dropped off at Charleston Area Medical Center's Women's and Children's Hospital on Dec. 21, 2016 after being shot twice near 2678 Conner Drive, according to a news release from Kanawha County sheriff's deputies. Green was carried into the hospital by a man, later identified as Mark Edward Broat Jr., 27, of Homewood Drive, according to a criminal complaint filed in Kanawha Circuit Court.
Green told investigators Broat shot him, the complaint said.
The day after the shooting, a Kanawha sheriff's deputy interviewed Broat, who allegedly admitted to shooting Green. He said he shot one round near Green but not at him and fired an addition four or five shots at him, striking him twice, according to the complaint.
Broat said he then placed Green into a UHaul truck and drove, eventually taking him to the hospital where he was seen on video helping Green into the hospital and then leaving in the truck.
Broat also told police he had driven the UHaul truck to take Green to retrieve a stolen UHaul truck that day.
Broat was indicted Friday on charges of kidnapping, attempted murder, wanton endangerment, prohibited person in possession of a firearm and malicious wounding. He is set to appear at 10 a.m. on Feb. 9 before Kanawha Circuit Judge James Stucky.
