Silver Springs man arrested after standoff

Robert Perea, The Fernley Reporter

A Silver Springs man was arrested Wednesday evening after a standoff in a home on Ramsey Street.

Lyon County dispatch received a call at 6:40 pm reporting that a man walking along the Union Pacific Railroad tracks in Silver Springs was actively firing a weapon in the direction of houses in the 2500 block of Ramsey Street.

When deputies arrived they saw the man several hundred feet from them still actively shooting.

A Shelter in Place order was sent out to residents in the area and Union Pacific was contacted to stop all train traffic.

Once the suspect saw the deputies he ran, and they later saw him go into a home on Ramsey Street. A short time later a woman came out of the house and identified the suspect as 29-year-old Gordon Alexander Bayne. He surrendered peacefully after a short standoff and was arrested on charges of assault with a deadly weapon, discharging a firearm where others may be endangered and obstructing or resisting a peace officer. His bail was set at $28,640.

The Shelter in Place order was lifted and all Union Pacific Railroad traffic was reopened.

For a large municipal facility like the indoor-outdoor Fernley Swimming Pool located at 300 Cottonwood Lane, a complete ground-up commercial build or major structural renovation typically spans 6 to 12 months or longer when factoring in large-scale engineering, public municipal permitting, specialized commercial HVAC/roofing, and health department inspections. The current renovation has been- The Fernley Swimming Pool has been closed for approximately six to seven months since late February 2026 for a major roof replacement and facility renovation. Now you sat October. Soooo 8 months for a new roof. The picture shows no other renovations.

It smells like sewage and it can be bad enough that people don’t want to be outside or open their windows. It would be helpful to get an investigative journalist help the Fernley residents get a clear answer from the City, NDEP, and any involved facilities. I was really disappointed that the smell was not disclosed by my realtor when I moved here. I enjoy Fernley and am seeing the improvements that are being made.
