Wichita man accused of stalking and threatening to kill a Salina woman.

According to the Salina Police Department (SPD) on Thursday, August 7th at about 4:45 pm, a 27-year old woman reported that a man she knows had been stalking her. Reportedly, the woman told 41-year old Dustin Tyler of Wichita 'to stay away,' after he had been following her around Salina in a vehicle.

The woman then drove to her friend's house in the 900 block of Seneca, as Tyler followed in his vehicle. When she arrived, Tyler exited his vehicle and approached her. As he got near, Tyler allegedly 'threatened to kill' the woman and pushed her as well. Tyler then left the area in his vehicle.

At around 2:00 am, an officer on patrol discovered a vehicle driving in the area of Broadway and N. 13th without its headlights on. The officer then conducted a traffic stop and identified the driver as Tyler.

Tyler was then arrested without incident and booked into the Saline County Jail on the following requested charges:

 Criminal Threat, Stalking and Domestic Battery.
