ODESSA -- An Ector County Sheriff's deputy has returned to work after being shot in the head during a stand-off earlier this year.
Sergeant Steve McNeiil returned to active duty Monday morning. He was shot in September during a 22 hour standoff in West Odessa. The suspect - Victor White - eventually surrendered to authorities after an explosion on the front porch of his home.
The other deputy that was injured - 29 year-old Richard Tijerena - continues to recover at his home.
