A local man was arrested Thursday night after a report of shots fired in a central Salina neighborhood.
Officers were sent to an apartment complex in the 600 block of South Second Street at approximately 9:19 p.m. Thursday for the report of shots being fired from inside an apartment in the complex, Salina Police Captain Gary Hanus reported this morning.
While officers were evacuating the apartment complex, a subject identified as Erick Oswaldo Abrego-Salas, 26, of Salina, contacted officers from inside of the apartment from where the shots came. Abrego-Salas was intoxicated and initially refused to comply with law enforcement orders, Hanus noted. After the apartment complex was evacuated, Abrego-Salas discharged another round from within the apartment, he added.
Negotiations continued with Abrego-Salas, who then complied with orders from officers on the scene and was taken into custody. After being checked out by Salina Fire Department EMS, Abrego-Salas was taken to the Salina Police Department while a search warrant was sought for his residence, Hanus explained.
Abrego-Salas was later booked into the Saline County Jail on the following requested charges, according to Hanus.
Criminal threat
Aggravated assault on a law enforcement officer
Possession of stolen property
Unlawful discharge of a firearm
Possession of marijuana
Possession of drug paraphernalia
