(KSL News) -- A stand off ended today when a man fell through the ceiling of a South Jordan home.

He'd been hiding in the attic.

DEA agents say that man, Bret Hansen, and Melissa Mcintyre went to the home after authorities busted their meth lab in Draper.

Police arrested Mcintyre when she answered the door.

Hansen refused to come out, even after when officers fired tear gas inside.

He was wanted for a parole violation, and is now headed back to prison. Mcintyre was turned over to the DEA.
