RACHEL, Nev. – In the early morning dark in the Nevada desert Friday, one of about 100 people visiting the entrance gate to Area 51 landed in handcuffs.

“We arrested one guy for indecent exposure out of Canada at the gate,” Lincoln County Sheriff Kerry Lee told the USA TODAY Network.

The man, the sheriff said, urinated near the gate.

Authorities detained a woman for “investigative purposes,” but – all in all – the “storming” of Area 51 turned out to be a manageable affair.

“It’s a relief that it’s not as bad as we thought it was going to be,” Lee said.

The sheriff of rural Lincoln County has spent the past eight weeks navigating a struggle with the unknown – the presiding force driving thousands of people to Nevada for events tied to the viral “Storm Area 51” Facebook event intended as a middle-of-the-night joke that quickly evolved into a spectacle that captured the attention of seekers all over the country.
