A 36-year-old Salina woman called the Salina Police Department four times while her significant other continuously battered her in a vehicle.
At 2:34 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 29, SPD received a phone call where a woman told dispatchers her 36-year-old significant other struck her in the head and pulled her hair in the car after an argument began.
According to SPD Sergeant Kyle Tonniges, the suspect continued to harm the victim while driving around Salina and trapping her in the truck. The victim gave updates on her location to dispatchers through four 911 calls.
"They were on Interstate 135 and State Street, where she was finally let out of the vehicle," Tonniges said. "That's where we made contact with her."
Tonniges said the victim provided information on the suspect, but officers are investigating the incident and provided no further details.
