After negotiations failed, and Marcher continued to threaten officers, a number of flashbang stun 'grenades' were tossed inside the home but Marcher continued to resist. Finally, tear gas was deployed and he was forced out by the gas and taken down and captured.
According to the Grant County Sheriff's Office:
"Marcher is lodged in the Grant County Jail on suspicion of second-degree assault (domestic violence) and making threats to kill law enforcement. The woman who called 9-1-1 is safe and sustained non-life-threatening injuries."
