MORGAN HILL, Calif. A San Jose police officer on Wednesday was arraigned in Santa Clara County Superior Court on charges of drunkenly firing a gun inside his home, and explained to the court that his alcohol use has been at the core of some of his actions.

Officer Timothy Faye, a 22-year veteran of SJPD, did not enter a plea to two felony counts of willful discharge of a firearm with gross negligence.

He was arrested last Wednesday for allegedly firing his gun inside the Morgan Hill home of his ex-girlfriend while he was drunk.
