The Salina Police Department responded to a disturbance call at 11:43 a.m. Sunday morning. Neighbors reported 30-year-old Salina resident Corey Born as acting unusual outside his home.
As officers arrived at the scene at the 200 block of North 10th Street, SPD Sergeant Kyle Tonniges said Born was not cooperative.
"He was acting erratic and then started approaching one of the officers attempting to grab his handgun — he continuously attempted to grab the gun," Tonniges said. "So the officers ended up fighting with him a little bit and had to take him down to the ground."
Tonniges said officers assumed he might be under the influence of drugs or alcohol, so they took him to the Salina Regional Health Center, but screenings showed him as clear.
During the arrest, officers found a small amount of marijuana in his pocket, totaling the requested charges to —
● Criminal Threat
● Battery of a law enforcement officer
● Assualt of a law enforcement officer
● Interference with a law enforcement officer
● Possession of marijuana
