MUSTANG - The wife of a slain fire chief was arrested Friday after investigators found that her story about a gun-wielding home intruder didn't square with evidence at the crime scene.
Rebecca Bryan, 52, was arrested about 12:20 p.m. at an Oklahoma City hotel on a first-degree murder complaint in the shooting death of longtime Nichols Hills Fire Chief Keith Bryan. She was placed in the Canadian County Jail in El Reno.
Keith Bryan, 52, was shot once in the head Tuesday night in the Bryans' residence in Mustang.
In two 911 calls made by Rebecca Bryan on the night of the shooting, she told a dispatcher that a man about 25 or 26 years old wearing a hooded sweatshirt shot her husband before apologizing and saying that the chief should have hired him. She said the intruder entered and exited the home through an unlocked garage door and drove away in a small, dark truck.
