A 16-year veteran with the Oklahoma City Police Department is facing criminal charges.
Master Sgt. Gregory Driskill has been on administrative leave since his arrest May 1.
Officers were called to the home near SW 59 Street and Sara Road on complaints of domestic abuse.
Despite his highly publicized arrest, police have released little information about what happened inside the home that day.
However, Canadian County prosecutors filed charges that detail the allegations against Driskill.
He is charged with one count of feloniously pointing a firearm and one count of domestic abuse.

Investigators say Driskill and the victim got into an argument about an upcoming family trip.
When the argument became heated, Driskill allegedly put a gun to the victim's head and threatened to shoot her.
The probable cause affidavit shows Driskill also shoved the victim off a stool causing her to fall onto the step of the bathtub.
Investigators say the incident left a bruise on the victim's back.
She eventually left the house and called for help.
Turns out, Driskill’s aggressive behavior has been called into question before.
In 2002, JohnTV.com captured video of Driskill arresting a man during a prostitution call.
“Put your (expletive) hands behind your (expletive) back now!” Driskill can be heard shouting at the suspect.
“I'm not doing anything!” the suspect said.
Driskill was criticized for hitting the suspect and beating him with his baton.
However, Driskill was eventually cleared of any wrongdoing. No charges were filed in that case.
Now, he's under scrutiny again and will have to answer to the charges in court.
His arraignment is set for Thursday in Canadian County.
