Lyon County Sheriff's deputies take armed Dayton man into custody
Lyon County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a call of a reported suicidal subject in the 100 block of Fireman Row in Dayton Friday night at about 8:30 p.m., the Lyon County Sheriff's Office said Saturday.
When deputies arrived on scene, they were told by occupants of the residence that Ryan Cunningham threatened to shoot not only himself, but also them — who were able to get safely away from the home.
Initially, deputies surrounded the residence and attempted to talk Cunningham out of the residence; however, a de-escalation approach was taken by law enforcement in order to resolve the incident without force.
At about 6:30 a.m. Saturday morning, Cunningham exited the home unarmed and was taken into custody without incident.
He was booked into the Lyon County Detention Center for felony assault with a deadly weapon with a domestic enhancement.
