A 23-year-old Salina man was arrested Sunday evening after allegedly threatening a man with a knife during a disturbance at a residence.

According to Salina Police Captain James Feldman, the incident began around 7 p.m. on April 20 when a 45-year-old man approached an officer in the 400 block of Montrose Street and reported a disturbance nearby.

Officers responded to the residence and found that Rodolfo Giner Manjarrez, a resident at the location, had been heavily intoxicated and was arguing with multiple people inside the home. During the altercation, Manjarrez allegedly pushed a 52-year-old resident and, when the 45-year-old man intervened, retrieved a knife and threatened him.

The 45-year-old man left the residence and contacted police. Officers then made contact with Manjarrez, who was taken into custody without incident. A knife was recovered at the scene.

While being escorted from the residence, Manjarrez reportedly made additional threats toward others in the home.

He was booked into the Saline County Jail on requested charges of aggravated assault, criminal threat, and domestic battery.
