On Tuesday afternoon, a Salina woman was arrested after she allegedly pulled a fire alarm without the need to do so, and for threatening and battering officers.
At approximately 1:40 p.m. Officers were sent to Pioneer President's Place, 200 block of S. 7th Street, in response to a fire alarm that had been allegedly pulled intentionally without the presence of an emergency.
