Charles Ryan, the former director of the Arizona Department of Corrections, will be sentenced on Feb. 9 in connection to a standoff at his Tempe home.
Ryan pleaded no contest to disorderly conduct last December after police said he fired a gun inside his home and pointed a firearm at two officers during the three-hour standoff on Jan. 6, 2022.The plea agreement for Ryan calls for a sentence of probation and an $8,500 payment to cover the Tempe Police Department's costs in conducting the investigation. The offense carries a maximum sentence of up to two years in prison.
They say the projectile was found during surgery.Ryan was also 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.Police reports say Ryan had consumed half a bottle of tequila before officers arrived at his property. Police say he slurred his words, was antagonistic toward a negotiator and did not know why officers were there or what had happened to his injured hand.
