Former Arizona Corrections Director Charles Ryan had a blood-alcohol level above the legal limit when he engaged in a 3 1/2-hour standoff with police earlier this month at his Tempe home, according to a police report obtained Wednesday by 12 News.
The standoff ended peacefully at 1 a.m. Jan. 7. Charles Ryan's wife and his 32-year-old daughter, who lives at the home, were unharmed.
Maricopa County Attorney Allister Adel is weighing whether to file the recommended charges of aggravated assault against a police officer and unlawful discharge of a firearm.
