A Salina man was arrested after threatening to stab a female at a motel.
According to the Salina Police Department on Saturday, May 31st a 41-year old female was staying at the Hastings Inn on 217 S. Broadway. She had a male acquaintance who lived at the motel as well, and walked over to his room as she offered to take his 12-year old son to see a family member.
When the woman arrived to his room, the male reportedly became upset and told her that he was going to stab her several times. After the threat, the woman fled the scene.
Police say, a witness was with the woman when the threat happened and made the report to authorities. Officers then contacted the female victim by phone and she told police that she was afraid of the male suspect's threat.
Officers then arrived to the motel and located the suspect in his room. They arrested 43-year old, Jere Thomas and charged him with criminal threat.
