Salina Police Department officers arrested a Salina man utilizing a police K-9 after he ran from the scene of a domestic disturbance.

At about 8 p.m. on Wednesday, Jan. 24, SPD officers arrived at a residence in the 900 block of East Republic Avenue to respond to a call about a domestic disturbance.

When officers arrived, they identified 30-year-old Salina resident Corey Born, who they recognized for multiple arrest warrants.

According to SPD Capt. James Feldman, Born was known to carry weapons and resist arrest.

"Upon arrival, officers observed Born and advised him he was under arrest for the warrants," Feldman said. "Born fled on foot and was pursued by officers — he then stopped in the street and turned around and indicated he had something."

Feldman said he then grabbed a knife from his waistband and pointed it toward SPD officers, so a K-9 was released to subdue Born.

The K-9 then grabbed onto Born's arm, causing him to drop the knife and allowing officers to arrest him after some resistance.

"Born continued to resist and not comply," Feldman said. "Officers took him to the ground, and he was taken into custody."

SPD officers had his injuries medically examined, but due to his clothing, Born had only superficial wounds.

Officers then booked Born into the Saline County Jail. They requested charges for two counts of aggravated assault of a law enforcement officer and one count of interference with a law enforcement officer.
