Police are looking for the person who allegedly pulled out a gun while confronting a man at a northwest Salina car wash Saturday afternoon.

A 23-year-old Salina man told police that he was driving northbound on S. Broadway Boulevard from W. South Street at approximately 2 p.m. Saturday when he encountered a white pickup that was driving erratically, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning. The man followed the pickup to StuJo's Car Wash, 120 N. Broadway Boulevard.

Forrester said that while the man was taking photos of the pickup and its license plate, the driver got out and asked whether the man had a problem. The driver also allegedly pulled a gun from his waistband and held it at his side while confronting the man who had followed him.

The man left the carwash and then reported the incident to the police, Forrester said.
