The chief of staff assigned to I Corps at Joint Base Lewis-McChord is accused of beating his wife in front of their children and repeatedly threatening to kill himself during a stand-off with police at the family’s DuPont home.

On Monday, Pierce County prosecutors charged Owen Ray, 47, with first-degree kidnapping, two counts of second-degree assault, two counts of felony harassment and reckless endangerment. He is scheduled to be arraigned Monday afternoon.

Ray formerly led 1st Special Forces Group at JBLM before becoming I Corps chief of staff in July.

An I Corps spokesman said Monday Ray has been suspended.

I was rather aghast that such punishment should be meted out so quickly.  Capt. Crozier was fired for trying to save his crew from COVID and this guy is suspended for threatening himself and the police.  It seems like overkill to me.
