North Bonneville Man Arrested After Standoff

A North Bonneville man was arrested Thursday night after a lengthy standoff with law enforcement officers.  The Skamania County Sheriff’s Office says 42-year-old Robert Lane was wanted on multiple warrants including stalking and violation of a protection order.  Deputies had contacted Lane by phone and learned he was at his residence in North Bonneville.  Contact with Lane was maintained through phone and text as he refused to exit the house.  Sheriff Dave Brown says after two hours of negotiating with Lane by phone, deputies made entry into the residence and were immediately confronted by Lane armed with a long gun that he raised toward the deputies, who exited without engaging him.  The Southwest Washington Regional SWAT assisted in continued negotiations with Lane by phone, and at about 8 p.m. Lane exited the residence and was taken into custody.  Lane claimed he attempted to overdose on medications prior to exiting the residence, and was examined on scene and transported to a medical facility for further observation.  He is now facing additional charges for first degree assault and felon in possession of a firearm.
