A male was arrested after assaulting his girlfriend about a game they were playing with friends at a home.

According to the Salina Police Department on Saturday, May 31st at around 2:40 am - 3:00 am, a male and female couple had friends over at the man's house on 1000 E. Minneapolis Ave.

Police say, the couple was drinking alcohol with the visitors and playing games. After the visitors left for the night, the male reportedly got upset with the woman about a dare game they played earlier that dealt with "texting your ex." The woman then decided to leave the home, but the man forcibly grabbed her phone from her hand and threw it into a room.

Furthermore, the man grabbed the woman, pushed her to the ground and restrained her from leaving the home. She was able to release herself from the man and ran to her phone where she called police.

Officers then arrived to the scene and located the couple. Officers arrested 29-year old, Kaleb Flaherty and charged him with domestic battery, criminal restraint and robbery.
