SHAWNEE COUNTY—Law enforcement authorities are investigating alleged aggravated assault.

Just before midnight Saturday, deputies with the Shawnee County Sheriff’s Office were dispatched to the 8200 block of SW 10th Street for a disturbance involving a firearm, according to Deputy Abigail Christian.

A family of four riding their 2023 Polaris Rzr ATV  told deputies that an individual in a pickup truck threatened them with a firearm.

Deputies were able to locate the truck and the driver. A search warrant was executed and a firearm matching the description was located.

Deputies then arrested 50-year-old Fabian R. Tinajero of Topeka, and booked him into the Shawnee County Department of Corrections on requested charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.
