SALINA —Law enforcement are investigating a violent attack on a woman and made an arrest.
Just before 11:30p.m. Thursday, police were dispatched to report of a man yelling at a woman while parked in the middle of the street in the 600 block of S. 2nd Street in Salina, according to Salina Police Captain James Feldman
The vehicle was then reported to have left the area. Officers later received another report of a woman crying while being yelled at by a man in the 600 block of S. 3rd Street.
When officers responded they observed a woman banging on a door in the area attempting to enter an apartment. There was a man, identified as 37-year-old Deay Joseph Balchick, on the landing of the apartment. As an officer attempted to make contact with the woman, Balchick prevented the officer from contacting her as he stepped in front of the officer blocking him.
Balchick was told to step aside but refused. Officers advised Balchick he was under arrest and Balchick began resisting. Balchick was taken into custody.
Officers learned from the 33-year-old woman that Balchick is a known acquaintance. The victim reported she and Balchick got into an argument while driving in the 600 block of S. 2nd. The victim exited the vehicle to get away from Balchick, but Balchick grabbed her and dragged her back into the vehicle.
When they stopped in the 600 block of S. 3rd the domestic incident continued in a yard in the area. During the incident Balchick threw the victim to the ground, struck and choked the victim. Balchick also broke a necklace the victim was wearing.
Balchick was booked into the Saline County Jail on requested charges of Aggravated Domestic Battery, Domestic Battery, Kidnapping, Interference with LEO and Damage to Property.
