A man was arrested Tuesday morning after he allegedly taunted people with a knife at a south Salina restaurant.
Officers were sent to the McDonald's at 2236 Planet Avenue at approximately 7 a.m. Tuesday for the report of a disorderly subject who was attempting to get into the restaurant and taunting people with a knife, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning.
When they arrived, they found a red 2003 Ford Mustang in the middle of the parking lot and Quentin Kaiser, 34, of Salina, standing next to it, Forrester said. When Kaiser saw police, he allegedly threw a knife on top of the car.
An officer attempted to restrain Kaiser with handcuffs, however a brief altercation on the ground ensued, Forrester said. The officer sustained minor abrasions on his legs during the altercation.
Forrester said it appeared that Kaiser was under the influence of something, and he was transported to Salina Regional Health Center where he was checked out and then released.
Kaiser then was booked into the Saline County Jail on the following requested charges, Forrester said.
●Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs
●Interference with law enforcement officers
●Disorderly conduct
●Driving in violation of restrictions
