A Salina man was arrested on multiple requested charges after he was found walking in the middle of N. Ohio Street Sunday night and refused to leave.
Salina Police Sergeant Kyle Tonniges said this morning that officers were sent to the area of N. Ohio Street and E. Pacific Avenue just after 10 p.m. Sunday for the report of a man walking in the roadway. When they arrived, they found Devin Johnson, 26, of Salina, walking in the middle of N. Ohio Street.
Tonniges said Johnson appeared to be intoxicated and refused to leave the roadway. When officers attempted to get him off the street, Johnson allegedly resisted, clenching his fists and yelling that he wouldn't go.
Once Johnson was subdued, he was taken first to the emergency room at Salina Regional Health Center, because of his suspected level of intoxication. While there, he allegedly attempted to bite an officer, Tonniges said.
Johnson was then booked into the Saline County Jail on the following requested charges, Tonniges said.
●Pedestrian under the influence
●Interference with a law enforcement officer
●Assault on a law enforcement officer
