COLONIE — A volunteer firefighter stands accused of assaulting two police officers on May 18 after his colleagues called 911, town police said.

A fellow firefighter called police just after midnight that Thursday to report 38-year-old William E. Boomhower "was actively out of control" at the Colonie Village Firehouse on Central Avenue, town police spokesman Lt. Robert Winn said Friday.

Boomhower had allegedly punched multiple colleagues at the station and "they became concerned about him driving home," Winn said. The man had been drinking and was complaining of chest pain before driving off, Winn said.

Two officers arrived at Boomhower's Birch Avenue home in Albany at about 12:38 a.m. to investigate.

When Boomhower came outside to be interviewed, he was "physically aggressive" and punched one officer in the face, Winn said. As police tried to arrest him, Boomhower continued to throw punches and also clawed at the officers with his fingernails, the lieutenant said.

One officer suffered bruising and significant pain in the right side of his head and ear, Winn said. The second officer suffered cuts to his forehead and scratches on his elbow.

Police wrestled Boomhower to the ground and "drive-stunned" him just below the knee — meaning one officer pressed his Taser to the man's flesh and shocked him without shooting the device's sharp barbs.

After getting Boomhower into handcuffs, police put him in the back of a squad car. The man kicked the rear left door so hard that it no longer closes properly, Winn said.

When Boomhower complained of chest pain and minor injuries, officers took him to St. Peter's Hospital. He was cleared by a doctor without significant injuries and released, Winn said.

Boomhower is charged with two counts of felony assaulting a police officer, one count of misdemeanor resisting arrest and one count of misdemeanor criminal mischief.

He was not charged in connection to the firehouse fight because crew members declined to press charges, Winn said.

The Colonie Village Fire Department did not return requests for comment.

Boomhower previously served as the station's assistant chief and was named the department's firefighter of the year in 2013.

Neither police officer took time off in connection to their injuries. Both finished their overnight shifts, Winn said.
