On Monday evening, just before 9 p.m., at the 2100 block of Roach Street in Salina, 19-year-old Adryana Baxter allegedly threw a padlock at a 62-year-old home health nurse and locked her in a bedroom.
According to Salina Police Department sergeant Kyle Tonniges, an argument started the resulting physical altercation, which caused the victim to call officers at 8:46 p.m. from inside the locked room.
The 62-year-old female victim said after the metal padlock missed her, she backed into one of the home's bedrooms, and Baxter closed and locked the door from the outside.
"There was also another resident there. She was 19 as well, female," Tonniges said. "She wanted to call the police, but Adryana told her not to, so we charged her with intimidation of a witness."
The Salina Police Department requested charges of aggravated assault, criminal threat and intimidation of a witness.
