Teacher Fired For Gun In Truck

BARTOW, Fla. -- A Central Florida teacher has been fired because he kept a handgun in his truck in the school parking lot.

The Polk County school board voted unanimously Tuesday to fire 51-year-old Phillip Bradley.

He taught truck mechanics at the Ridge Career Center in Winter Haven when the 9 mm handgun was found in his truck in the school lot last spring.

A hearing officer had recommended just a 90-day suspension, but school board members said that would have set a bad example for students.

Bradley said he was sorry for his students.
