Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said this morning that deputies were sent to The Rodeway Inn and Suites, 3932 S. Ninth Street, Friday night to serve a warrant from Saline County District Court on Keyshawn Edwards, 23, of Salina. They found him in a vehicle in the parking lot and arrested him.

During the arrest, deputies allegedly found an ID and other items from a wallet belonging to a Chicago man who was staying at the Rodeway Inn and Suites, Soldan said. The man told deputies that the wallet, which also contained $170, was stolen from his pickup. The cash was not located.

In addition to the warrant, Edwards also was arrested on a requested charge of theft, Soldan said.
