A domestic situation turned into a robbery Saturday evening that eventually led Salina Police Department officers to conduct a high-risk traffic stop on a resident.
On Saturday, Feb. 24, in the 1200 block of Crescent Drive, a woman reported to SPD officers that her boyfriend, 40-year-old Jerome Terrance Citizen, robbed the keys to her 2021 Jeep Wrangler from a lanyard around her neck and took the vehicle.
"Through our flock system, we were able to locate the vehicle much later, did a high-risk stop on it, and took him into custody," said SPD Capt. Mike Miller.
A high-risk traffic stop includes multiple patrol vehicles arriving on the scene with guns drawn, where officers will order suspects out of their cars with their backs facing toward law enforcement officers.
Officers will then instruct suspects to walk backward toward the patrol vehicles and have them kneel with their hands placed on or above their heads.
Miller said SPD officers located Citizen on Sunday afternoon around 1:45 p.m. at the Casey's on South Ninth Street and Magnolia Road. After arresting Citizen, officers requested charges for robbery and felony theft.
