The North County Times is reporting that Oceanside Police Chief Frank McCoy is back
at work, weeks after his wife was arrested on suspicion of shooting at officers.
McCoy, who left the Long Beach Police Department in 2006 as a commander to become Oceanside's top cop, returned to work Monday. Oceanside City Manager Peter Weiss says he took time off for the holidays that had been scheduled in advance.
McCoy's wife, 47-year-old Brinda McCoy, is charged with five felony counts.
Authorities say on Dec. 16 she called 911 and fired at police officers during a three-hour standoff at the couple's home in Cypress.
She was arrested after being shot with a beanbag gun and is free on $250,000 bail.
If convicted on all counts, she faces up to 58 years in prison.
Weiss told the North County Times that McCoy's city-issued gun wasn't used in the confrontation
