Charles Ryan in 2018.

The Tempe Police Department has recommended charges against former Arizona Department of Corrections Director Charles Ryan after an incident at his home earlier this month.

Ryan was arrested after a brief armed standoff and will face two counts of aggravated assault on a peace officer and one count of unlawful discharge of a firearm.

Ryan suffered a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the hand before the impasse and was hospitalized, but no other injuries were reported.

The Maricopa County Attorney’s Office will now review the case.
