Standoff ends peacefully in downtown Reno

Reno police arrested a 67-year-old Reno man Wednesday night after a standoff ended peacefully.

Officers responded to a dispute between neighbors at an apartment complex in the 400 block of Evans Avenue in central Reno just before 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.

As officers went to speak with one of the individuals, Graham Bishop, he allegedly came to the door with a gun but did not point it at officers. Bishop shut the door to his apartment and then made threats toward the officers, according to Reno police.

Reno police SWAT officers and crisis negotiators responded to evacuate other tenants from the complex, and to begin a dialogue with Bishop. After a brief standoff, Bishop came out of his apartment and was placed into custody. Graham was charged with harassment and resisting officers with a firearm and transported to the Washoe County Jail without further incident.
