Retired Arizona prisons chief takes plea deal after armed standoff with police
Fox News
Former AZ prisons boss Charles Ryan faces a plea agreement of probation and a fine for an hours-long drunken standoff with police at his home in Tempe in 2022.
Police were called to Ryan’s house Jan. 6, 2022, on a report that he had shot himself in the hand. It was later revealed by police that the hand injury was caused by a less-than-lethal projectile fired by police after Ryan pointed a handgun at officers. They say the projectile was found during surgery.
Ryan also was injured when he fired his gun before police arrived. He apparently suffered a cut to the forehead after a bullet hit a bathroom sink and sent a splinter of porcelain flying.
