A Salina man with an active warrant faces an additional requested charge after he allegedly hid from police behind a piece of plywood and then ran.
Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning that officers were dispatched to the 200 block of S. Ninth Street Sunday for the report of Kyle Nelson, 39, of Salina, being in the area. Nelson was known to have an active felony warrant from Saline County District Court for probation violation.
Officers made contact with several people working on a residence in the 200 block of S. Ninth Street.
While officers were talking with the workers, one of the officers heard a phone beep behind him. Upon turning around, the officer discovered Nelson hiding behind a piece of plywood that was leaning against a tree, Forrester said. Nelson then ran but was taken into custody a short distance later.
Forrester said that in addition to the warrant, Nelson now faces a requested charge of felony interference with a law enforcement officer.
Nelson was part of the work crew, Forrester said.
