[FL] Ft. Lauderdale Police Chief shot at by wife Eleanor

July 9, 2008

FORT LAUDERDALE - The wife of Police Chief Frank Adderley roused him from bed with a gunshot and then chased him from their Plantation house to a neighbor's, squeezing off more rounds as he ran away, authorities said.

The first bullet missed the chief by inches, police said. He was not injured.

Hours after the alleged Tuesday night attack, Adderley promised to pay the $25,000 bail to get his wife, Eleanor Leisa Adderley, out of jail. And then he agreed to move out of their Plantation house so she could live there without breaking a judge's order to stay a mile away from him.
