The wife of Coos County's Parole and Probation director who was shot by Coos County Sheriff's Office deputies during a standoff in January was indicted in April by a Curry County grand jury on two counts of menacing, as well as methamphetamine possession and reckless endangerment charges.

Kimberly Wright of Coquille is scheduled to be arraigned on June 5 in Curry County Circuit Court. Roy Wright, Kimberly's husband, who oversees Coos County's convicted felons, was also under investigation for events that may have led up to the shooting.

However on Thursday, Curry County DA Alexandria Streich said Roy Wright has not been charged with any crimes.

“No charges have been filed and based on evidence at this time, I don't expect that there will be,” Streich said. “If something additional comes up though, we'll look at that. But there is insufficient evidence to charge him with any crimes at this point.”

To avoid any potential conflict of interest, the Coos County DA's office asked Streich to take over the case to determine if any charges should be filed against Roy Wright. Many law enforcement agencies, including the Coos County DA's Office, works with Wright on a regular basis.

The incident unfolded around 10:22 p.m. on Jan. 15, when Coos County Sheriff's deputies responded to an emergency call from Kimberly Wright at the couple's Coquille home. She told emergency dispatchers that her husband had been drinking and “gotten physical” with her.

Coos County Sheriff's Deputy Ernie Mitchell, and Reserve Deputy Tom Marin, went to the home. Roy Wright was not there at the time, but deputies said Kimberly Wright met them at the front door, where she screamed at them and later brandished what they believed was a handgun.

The deputies told investigators they drew their weapons, took cover behind their patrol car and ordered Wright to drop her weapon. They said she refused to comply and pointed the object in her hand at a deputy. At that point, the deputies responded by each firing two shots at Wright. One of Mitchell's shots struck Wright above the right knee, bringing her to the ground.

When the deputies approached Wright, they discovered the gun was actually a plastic toy gun.

Wright was taken to Coquille Valley Hospital and later to Sacred Heart Medical Center in Eugene for treatment.

Meanwhile, Coquille Police officers found Roy Wright, who was driving in downtown Coquille. He was detained by police and taken to the Coos County Sheriff's Office for questioning. In a March report, Coos County Chief Deputy District Attorney R. Paul Frasier said “there was no indication that he was driving under the influence of intoxicants,” so no blood or urine tests could be performed.

Streich said Thursday she never questioned why officers failed to conduct field sobriety or toxicological tests on him.

“(Officers) did not notice any symptoms (of drinking) and that relates to why we did not file charges against him,” she said.

A subsequent search of the Wright home turned up a glass pipe with methamphetamine residue, and bearing Kimberly Wright's fingerprints.

Toxicological tests showed the presence of methamphetamine in Kimberly Wright's urine and that her blood alcohol content was .12 percent.

Streich said the possession charge, the only felony charge that Kimberly Wright faces, is in regards to the meth pipe, and not a quantity of meth.

The misdemeanor reckless endangerment charge is being brought because the Wright's 12-year-old son was inside the home when the incident occurred, Streich said.

North Bend attorney Nick Nylander has been appointed to represent Wright at the June hearing, but did not return phone calls by press time.

In early March, the Coos County DA's Office officially ruled that Mitchell and Marin were justified in the shooting.

That conclusion was based on an investigation headed up by Oregon State Police, who believed Kimberly Wright wanted police to kill her after she made an emergency call characterized by investigators as a domestic disturbance call.
