JB’s Gentlemen’s Club had to deal with $1,000 in fire damage after a jealous boyfriend set the West Virginia club on fire. Creio Chance Bishop told police he set the fire because he was tired of his girlfriend working as a dancer, authorities said.
Bishop, 21, of Huntington, W.Va., was arrested Wednesday after he allegedly set fire to the exterior of the Clarksville men’s club, the West Virginia State Fire Marshal reported.
Bishop reportedly set the club on fire early Wednesday and fled to a nearby Walmart. A bystander, who alerted police about the blaze, said Bishop told him to “leave the fire along and mind his own business,” WSAZ reported. Deputies discovered Bishop near the scene with a black trash bag. The envious lover told police he “Was tired of his girlfriend working at JB’s, so he set it on fire,” WCHS-TV reported. source
No one was injured in the fire but there was about $1,000 in damage, Jim Reed, the club’s owner, told WSAZ. Reed said Bishop’s girlfriend’s job was also in jeopardy.
Bishop was being held at Western Regional Jail on a $10,000 bond. He was charged with second-degree arson.
