A German man who was determined to get the woman he wanted was arrested in Salina Wednesday night on multiple charges including criminal threat and stalking.
Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan said this morning that an 18-year-old Saline County woman met Falk Meier Berndt, 22, of Hanover, Germany, online. From her perspective, there was no relationship and she expressed that, but according to Soldan, Meier Berndt had other plans.
Meier Berndt flew to the United States and during the past week had been in Saline County trying to find the local woman.
Meier Berndt had a list of things to do while he was in Saline County, Soldan said. He went to the woman's church. He also went to her work place at a time she happened to be there. Meier Berndt allegedly told the woman that he was going to kill her 22-year-old boyfriend, marry her, and have children with her, Soldan said.
The woman's father reported the work place incident to the Saline County Sheriff's Office. Deputies also received additional information from the woman.
Deputies located Meier Berndt at a local motel and arrested him on the following requested charges, Soldan said.
