The Lyon County Sheriff's Office has arrested two people following an hours-long standoff on Wednesday night.
It started with a traffic stop on Toiyabe Street in Silver Springs at 6:33 p.m., according to a press release from the LCSO.
While deputies were issuing a ticket to the driver, a man came out of his home and started to harass the deputies.
The man harassing the deputies was identified as 38-year-old Keith Andrew Roach of Silver Springs.
The driver of the car, identified as 31-year-old Christopher Lyons of Silver Springs, said he lived with Roach.
As deputies completed issuing the ticket to Lyons, Roach became increasingly angry and was screaming and yelling at them to stop "harassing" people.
At one point, he came off his porch while recording the deputy and walked behind the patrol car, and was screaming for them to leave his house.
Deputies shifted their focus to Roach, and additional deputies were called to the scene as Roach ran back into his house.
Roach eventually came back outside, saying he needed to leave and threatening to ram the patrol car as he was backing his truck out of his driveway.
He proceeded to back up his truck, nearly striking a patrol car, then got out of his truck and went back to his house.
As additional deputies arrived on scene, they attempted to contact Roach and take him into custody.
Roach had several small children surrounding him on the porch and said that he was going to get a gun and ran into the house.
Deputies backed up, not wanting to escalate the situation further since there were children present, and a perimeter was set up around the house.
Deputies ordered Roach to come out, but he refused.
After nearly three hours, Roach came out of the house and was taken into custody without further incident.
It was later determined that Roach had eight children in the house at the time of the incident.
During the standoff, Roach stood behind his children while screaming at deputies through a window and refused to let them leave the house.
The children were evaluated and released to their mother.
Roach was transported to the Lyon County jail.
Lyons was also taken into custody for obstructing the investigation during the incident and booked into the Lyon County jail.
Roach is facing charges including child abuse/endangerment, intimidating/threatening law enforcement, misuse of emergency 911 phone line, and obstructing and delaying an investigation.
His bail has been set at $88,640.
