A Salina man was arrested on suspicion of aggravated assault and aggravated burglary after an alleged incident Friday morning involving pepper spray and a knife.
Officers were sent at 6:45 a.m. Friday to a residence in the 100 block of North West Place after Jonathan Shue, 38, of Salina, reported that he was being robbed, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester reported this morning. As it turned out, Shue did not live at the residence and did not have permission to be there, Forrester explained.
A second call from an 18-year-old who lived at the residence indicated that Shue was inside the residence with a knife and pepper spray, Forrester noted. The man told police that he exited his bedroom to find Shue crouched at the top of the stairs. Shue then jumped up and held a knife in front of the man’s throat, Forrester explained. The man then talked Shue into putting the knife away.
Officers located Shue at the top of the stairs and ordered him to drop the pepper spray, according to Forrester. Once Shue was arrested, a pocket knife was located in his pants pocket, Forrester added.
Shue was arrested on requested charges of aggravated burglary and aggravated assault.
