A Salina woman was arrested on a requested charge of battery in connection to an incident with an emergency medical technician late Tuesday morning.

Salina Police Captain Gary Hanus said this morning that officers and EMTs were sent to the Kwik Shop at 1727 W. Crawford at 11:30 a.m. Tuesday for the report of a person in the women's restroom who appeared to be in a distressed mental state.

During an onsite medical evaluation by EMTs, the 25-year-old Salina woman allegedly battered one of the EMTs and subsequently was arrested on a requested charge of battery, Hanus said.
