A Salina man was arrested Sunday morning following a domestic disturbance in the 1300 block of Derby Avenue.
According to Salina Police Captain James Feldman, officers were dispatched at approximately 9:40 a.m. after a third-party caller reported receiving a text from a 36-year-old woman asking them to contact 911 on her behalf.
When officers arrived, they spoke with the woman, who reported that she had gotten into an argument with 35-year-old Darnell Roberson, who also lives at the residence. She told police that after she went to lie down, Roberson forced her into another room, strangled her, and struck her head on the ground multiple times.
She was eventually able to get up and move to a different room, but Roberson followed and choked her again, according to the report.
"The victim did not lose consciousness and was able to send a text message to a third party asking for help. Officers took Roberson into custody at the scene without incident," Feldman said.
Roberson was booked into the Saline County Jail on requested charges of aggravated kidnapping, aggravated domestic battery, domestic battery, and a warrant for failure to appear.
