A Crimestoppers tip led police to a Salina man with multiple active warrants Friday evening.

Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning that officers were dispatched to the 1000 block of N. Seventh Street at approximately 7:25 p.m. Friday. A Crimestoppers tip had reported that Corry Barnes, 20, of Salina, who was on the Saline County Most Wanted List, was there and loading items into a vehicle.

Additionally, Barnes was arrested on a requested charge of felony interference with a law enforcement officer, Forrester said.
