According to the arrest report, 38-year-old Jason Michael Fisher and 37-year-old Jessica Jane Wolfgram, both of Reno, were arrested Thursday night after a near ten-hour standoff with Carson City deputies and SWAT team officers. 

Fisher has been charged with three gross misdemeanors for child endangerment, two misdemeanor outside agency warrants, and misdemeanor obstruction. 

Wolfgram has been charged with three gross misdemeanors for child endangerment, and a misdemeanor for obstructing. 

They were taken into custody in the 1900 block of Pinion Hill Drive Thursday night after the standoff ended. 

 According to the arrest report, deputies were dispatched to the 1900 block of Pinion Hills Drive to conduct a welfare check on two juveniles aged 10 and 7 years old. 

The reporting party advised dispatch they had not seen the juveniles for six days, and there were concerns regarding their welfare. 

A records check revealed Fisher had two confirmed warrants issued out of Reno in 2019: one for failure to comply and another for domestic battery with a $5,000 cash-only bail. 

A deputy responded and attempted to make contact at the residence, but reported that Fisher was uncooperative and would not let deputies confirm the welfare of the children. 

The deputy said they saw Fisher inside the residence, but he would not answer the door. 

Additional deputies and the MOST team were dispatched. Negotiations were attempted by phone, and at first, Wolfgram agreed to bring the children out to allow deputies to check on their welfare. However, she never did so. 

At around 2:30 p.m., additional detectives and sergeants were dispatched, and a search warrant to enter the home was obtained. 

Some of the report has been redacted for privacy, but it states that due to Fisher refusing to exit, and not knowing whether or not he was armed, deputies donned tactical equipment and used the armored vehicle to approach the residence. 

Announcements were made via loudspeaker telling the individuals to exit the residence. Wolfgram was told to exit with her children, and officers were concerned the incident was going to become a hostage situation. 

A crisis negotiator was dispatched, who told Wolfgram she would not be arrested and that the only concern was the safety of her children. 

Wolfgram would sometimes reply via text and answer the phone, and said the children were scared, and that she would be calling another police station. 

For over two hours, neither Fisher nor Wolfgram exited the residence, and did not communicate with law enforcement. Due to the lack of communication, SWAT officers were activated. 

At around 8:30 p.m., Fisher opened the window blinds and began talking with SWAT officers. He agreed to exit, but advised he had medical issues and had a difficult time walking. 

Later, Fisher exited the residence and was taken into custody. He was transported to the hospital for wounds to his leg. 

Deputies later spoke with Wolfgram and asked why she did not exit the residence. She said she was scared of the police, and that she’d also heard on the police scanner she would be detained, which is another reason she didn’t want to exit. 

Deputies asked what they were doing for so long inside, and Wolfgram said they were just lying in bed. When deputies told her she would be under arrest for obstruction, “she changed her story” according to the report. 

She said Fisher wouldn’t allow them to leave, and began barricading the door with the dresser. Deputies told her they didn’t believe her, especially because Fisher could barely walk due to his injuries. 

Wolfgram said Fisher can walk, and that he was “putting on an act.” She told deputies to speak to her child, because she would verify her side of the story. 

However, deputies did interview the children, who did not verify Wolfgram’s side of the story. She was taken into custody, and during transportation, the reporting deputy did confirm she had the ability to exit the residence. 

Bail for Wolfgram: $8,637

Bail for Fisher: $14,049
