A Salina teen was arrested on multiple requested charges, including aggravated battery and damage to property after two incidents early Thursday morning.
A 51-year-old Salina man told police that he witnessed an orange car strike a white pickup at Crawford and Fairdale at approximately 5 a.m. Thursday, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester reported this morning. The white pickup drove off and the man pulled his 2007 Chevy Trailblazer in front of the orange car to prevent it from leaving, Forrester noted.
The driver of the car, Michela Redmond, 18, of Salina, exited her vehicle, approached the Trailblazer, and allegedly began pulling on the rear driver side window that was open slightly until it broke, according to Forrester. The man exited his vehicle and Redmond allegedly began punching him repeatedly in the face, breaking his eye glasses, valued at $300, Forrester noted.
The man got back in his vehicle and Redmond then got back in her vehicle and allegedly ran directly into the man's vehicle causing approximately $1,300 in damage to the front bumper. She then allegedly backed up and tried to run into his vehicle again, but he was able to back up to avoid the collision, Forrester explained. Redmond then fled the scene, he added.
According to Forrester, Redmond was located in the 700 block of Fairdale, driving a 2005 Chevrolet Cobalt, and was arrested on the following requested charges.
