CVB President On Paid Administrative Leave

{Charleston, West Virginia}...Patti Bradley, the president of the Charleston Convention and Visitors Bureau, is on paid administrative leave following the arrest of the bureau's director of operations, 38 year old Tracie Breedlove Dennis, who has been  fired after being charged with embezzlement, forgery and uttering. Spokeswoman Jama Jarrett says the board voted Wednesday to remove Bradley, who makes $72,000 a year. The Convention and Visitors Bureau's annual budget is around $1.5 million. Police say $100,000 to $237,000 may be missing from its accounts. The criminal complaint says Dennis forged Bradley's name on a $513 check made out to Dennis' young daughter. Bureau checks require two signatures and Bradley's is required on checks below $1,000.
