A standoff between the Roanoke County SWAT team and a man who barricaded himself inside a house ended early Sunday after more than six hours of broken communication and blasts of tear gas into the home.

Bryan James Valentine, 48, was taken in handcuffs from his North Roanoke County house just after midnight by police officers who had been trying to arrest him on domestic battery charges. He was further charged with obstruction of justice and misdemeanor disorderly conduct.

Police officers had looked for Valentine on Friday at the house on Knoll Road -- a street of single-family homes near the intersection of Peters Creek and Williamson roads -- to serve him with a warrant, but did not find him, said Assistant Chief Donna Furrow.

When officers returned about 4:15 p.m. Saturday, a police statement said, they briefly spoke to Valentine "through a door and asked him to exit the residence so he could be served the warrant." Valentine then locked himself inside and barricaded the entrances to the house, police said.

Valentine lived in the home with his wife and two children, according to neighbors.

The SWAT team arrived about 6 p.m., Furrow said. At one point, officers pitched a phone inside the house.

"We had negotiations a couple of times, and then he quit answering the phone," Furrow said.

After 11 p.m., at least eight officers tried to enter the house through a side door by the carport. As one officer punched and tackled the door, a device exploded beside the door with a loud popping sound and a burst of light.

Officers continued to punch the door, breaking it into small pieces after a second explosion. About 11:30, officers rushed into the house shouting, but Valentine wasn't found until two officers climbed a ladder onto the roof and saw him in the attic.

"You gotta come out of there now!" an officer yelled from the roof.

A few minutes after midnight, Valentine came out of the attic through the interior of the house. Valentine spit on the ground and shouted, "Man, this is excessive force. I didn't do s---."

In a similar situation in mid-June, a man was arrested in Roanoke County after a five-hour standoff with police. The man was being served five felony warrants. After the standoff he was served with four additional charges, including two counts of obstruction of justice.
