A Salina man was arrested on requested drug and threat charges after an incident late Wednesday afternoon on North Santa Fe Avenue.
Officers were sent to the 500 block of North Santa Fe Avenue at 5:05 p.m. Wednesday for the report of a disorderly subject blocking traffic and threatening a female driver, Salina Police Captain Gary Hanus reported this morning.
According to Hanus, a 59-year-old Salina woman told police that a male had been blocking the roadway. When she honked the horn on her vehicle, the male threw what was believed to be a cell phone at the woman's vehicle, striking it, he noted. The subject then ran around to the driver’s door of the woman's vehicle, attempted to open it, and told the woman he was going to kill her, Hanus explained. The woman remained locked in her vehicle and the male ran away, he added.
Officers locate the subject in the area. He was identified as Wesley L. Spragg, 39, of Salina, Hanus reported.
Spragg ran from the officer before stopping in the 500 block of North Eighth Street and charging at two officers, Hanus noted. One of the officers deployed a Taser at Spragg, who then was subdued and arrested, he explained.
Suspected methamphetamine and drug paraphernalia were located in Spragg's belongings, Hanus reported.
Spragg was arrested on the following requested charges, according to Hanus.
Criminal threat
Obstruction of law enforcement
Disorderly conduct
