A local man was arrested on a requested charge of aggravated criminal threat after an incident at a south Salina bank Saturday afternoon.

Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning that officers were dispatched to Central National Bank in Walmart, 2900 S. Ninth Street, at approximately 3 p.m. Saturday for the report of a male subject making a threat about a shooting.

Bank employees told police that the man entered the bank and allegedly said there would be a shooting soon. The employees locked themselves in a back room and called police.

After reviewing surveillance video, police identified the man as Aldo Steffen, 33, of Salina.

Forrester said officers located Steffan near the north entrance to Walmart and arrested him on the requested charge of aggravated criminal threat.
