A 74-year-old Salina man was arrested Friday afternoon after he allegedly threatened a relative with a metal baseball bat.

Salina Police Department (SPD) Capt. James Feldman said officers responded to 2900 block of Berkeley Street at around 2 p.m. on Jan. 24 following a 911 call from a 78-year-old woman. The female victim told officers she had returned home and encountered Roger Copeland, a relative staying at the residence who appeared upset for unknown reasons.

According to Feldman, Copeland threatened the woman with a metal baseball bat. She called for help, and officers arrested Copeland without incident.
