A Salina man was arrested on a requested charge of aggravated assault after an alleged incident at a downtown bar late Thursday night.
Officers were called to Big Nose Kate's, 117 N. Santa Fe Avenue, at approximately 11:45 p.m. Thursday for the report of a disturbance, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning. An employee reported that a man entered the bar, and when the employee asked to see the man's ID, the man showed an expired ID.
The bar employee told the man he would need to leave and the man allegedly became adversarial. As the employee was escorting the man out of the bar, the man allegedly pulled out a pocket knife while on the stairs and pointed it at the employee before continuing down the stairs.
Officers made contact with the man, identified as Shane Boyer, 45, of Salina, in the parking lot behind the bar. The knife was located nearby in a vent on the ground, Forrester said.
Boyer was arrested on the requested charge of aggravated assault, Forrester said.
