Man Arrested After Standoff in Eugene Domestic Dispute



EUGENE, Ore. — A 39-year-old man, Matthew Ryan Pyle, was arrested early Friday morning following a domestic dispute and standoff at a residence in the 1400 block of W. 3rd Avenue, according to the Eugene Police Department.


At 3:23 a.m., Central Lane 911 received a call with a woman and man yelling on an open line. Officers responded in emergency mode due to a history of prior calls from the address. The woman safely left the residence, but Pyle, who had an outstanding warrant for violating a restraining order and assault charges, remained inside, potentially armed with guns and knives.
The Eugene Police Crisis Negotiation Team attempted to communicate with Pyle, who responded intermittently but refused to exit. SWAT, drone units, and K9 teams cleared the main residence and searched the property, locating Pyle in a trailer. He surrendered and was taken into custody at 7:17 a.m.
Pyle faces charges of Assault in the Fourth Degree under the Abuse Prevention Act and Violation of a Restraining Order.

A Father’s Nightmare: How Lies and a Broken System Stole His Children

Bend, Or. - The weight of this story is nearly unbearable. It is a chilling testament to how easily a father can lose his children, not through wrongdoing, but through a system that too often favors the first to accuse and asks questions later. Last month, I reported on the horrifying case of Sarah Session and her parents, Paula and Gary Hardenburg. Sarah stands accused of abusing and nearly killing her 9-year-old stepson, Braxton, while her parents allegedly enabled the abuse and helped cover it up. The details of this case are some of the most horrifying I have ever come across, acts of cruelty inflicted upon a helpless child, short of death itself. But beyond the gruesome abuse lies another devastating truth: Sarah was only able to harm this child because she manipulated the court system, weaponizing lies to gain not only custody of her own two children but also temporary custody of Braxton, her husband's son from a previous relationship. She stole them, not with force, but wit...
