According to an incident report, McDaniel's wife told officers the two were arguing when he pulled a gun from his briefcase and aimed it at her. The report states he told his wife, "let's go," and motioned toward the door.
At that point, officers say the couple's 15-year-old child appeared and asked McDaniel to put the gun away, and he did.
Days later, the report says the wife wanted to recant her statement, but the incident report was filed anyway.
