A 26-year-old Salina man was arrested Saturday night following an incident involving threats and a firearm at the Airliner Motel, 781 N. Broadway.

According to Salina Police Captain James Feldman, officers were dispatched to the motel around 10 p.m. after they received a report of three male subjects attempting to access a room and making threats. 

"Contact was made with the 57-year-old motel employee who reported two white males and a black male attempting to get into a room at the motel. When he confronted them, asking what they were doing, he was told they had gotten locked out," Feldman said. "The employee told them they were not registered to the room and needed to leave, or he would call the police. The subjects then threatened to beat him up and began to leave."

Shortly after arriving at the scene, SPD officers spotted a white male matching the description of one of the suspects. The individual fled on foot. 

SPD officers established a perimeter and located the suspect hiding under a vehicle in the 700 block of North 11th Street. He was taken into custody without incident. During the search, officers recovered a 9mm handgun and marijuana in the area.

The suspect, identified as Gunnerkye Rairden, of Salina was booked into the Saline County Jail on multiple charges, including interference with law enforcement, criminal possession of a firearm, possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia, and criminal threat.

The investigation continued Sunday afternoon when officers located Sevijon Davis, who had a probation violation warrant, in the 800 block of North Fourth Street. 

Davis fled on foot but was apprehended in the 800 block of North Santa Fe Avenue. According to Feldman, Davis was wearing clothing that matched the description of another suspect involved in the threats at the Airliner Motel.

Davis was arrested on the warrant and an additional charge of criminal threat in connection with the motel incident. During his transport to the Saline County Jail, Davis allegedly threatened to shoot officers, resulting in further charges of criminal threat and interference.

Both suspects remain in custody, and the investigation into the incidents is ongoing.

Suspects arrested after threats, police chase near Salina motel

Virginia Ann (Horn) Luty passed away peacefully on January 12, 2025, at Hoeger House Rehab Center in Olathe, KS, at 82 years of age.&nbsp; Born August 28, 1942, to Luther and Verda (Krehbiel) Horn, at McPherson Hospital in McPherson, KS, Virginia graduated from McPherson High School in 1960. On Valentine’s Day of her senior year, Virginia was engaged to her high school sweetheart, Robert Luty. Virginia and Bob married on July 23, 1961, at the First Baptist Church in McPherson. The young couple welcomed three children into their home and hearts, bringing them up in the First Christian Church. When the youngest started school, Virginia returned to college. In 1978 she received her BA, summa cum laude, from McPherson College in Elementary Education.

For 25 years, from 1978 to 2003, Virginia served the McPherson community as an exceptionally gifted teacher. Hundreds of sixth graders benefited immeasurably from her dedication to her calling. She worked tirelessly, including many overtime hours at home, creating an engaging curriculum and then sharing it with her students with passion and flair. Virginia was recognized as Teacher of the Year in 1987. She was a founding member of the USD #418 Board of Trustees Community Education Foundation, and served two years on the Foundation’s board. Virginia served on the McPherson College Alumni board from 2005-09, and two years as president. In 2017, she was honored to receive the Citation of Merit Award from McPherson College.&nbsp;

As a homemaker, Virginia enjoyed cooking and celebrating, especially the Thanksgiving and Christmas holidays. Homemade Christmas candies were her specialty, sharing platefuls of peppernuts and bonbons with family, friends and neighbors, a tradition she enjoyed handing down to her family. Virginia was an excellent seamstress, an expert knitter, and her beautiful scrapbooks will be treasured by future generations. She was a tennis player and a founding member of the McPherson Women’s Tennis Association. She and Bob became two of the first pickleball enthusiasts in McPherson.

Virginia and Bob treasured visiting their children and grandchildren, trips to Europe, special cruises to Alaska and Belize, and a 50th anniversary family trip to Myrtle Beach. Virginia loved being with her 16 grandchildren, encouraging and supporting them. In retirement, Virginia greatly enjoyed her book club, Friendship Club, BUNCO group, pickleball, and sharing her knowledge of McPherson history as a docent on the Visitors Bureau Trolley Tours.

Virginia’s family and all who knew her are grateful for the gift of her life, and the warmth, character and conviction with which she lived. She is deeply missed by her loving husband of 63½ years, Robert Luty; and her family Jeffrey (Mary Kate) Luty of Olathe, KS and their children Jordan, Ben (Laura) and Kate; Denise (Brent) Klaske of Rossville, KS and their children Philip, Elise, Catherine, Rose, Thomas, Rachel (Phil) Murphy, Stephen, David, Jack and Leo; Jo Luty of Oceanside, CA and her children Braxton (Neil), Juliet (Christian), and Isabel (Colin) Picard; and great-grandchildren Lillie and Dean Murphy.

Virginia was preceded in death by her son Brock Luty, parents Luther &amp; Verda Horn, brother Dale Horn, and his wife Beverly.

The funeral service will be held at 11:00 AM on Saturday, Feb. 1st at the First Christian Church in McPherson, KS.

Memorial donations are suggested to Good Shepherd Hospice of Olathe KS or the First Christian Church of McPherson in care of Stockham Family Funeral Home, 205 North Chestnut, McPherson, KS 67460.

Salina man arrested after alleged property damage to pet boarding facility

Eldon Duane Taylor, age 70, passed away in the home on January 5, 2025 after a short illness. Eldon was born on January 12, 1954 in Seattle, Washington, the son of Eldon Duane Burnett and Mernadean Taylor (Lexow). His parents moved to Seattle, but returned when Eldon was 6 months old, as his father and namesake had drowned in an effort to save his uncle. 

Eldon grew up in Abilene where he graduated from high school. He then attended K-state as a member of Beta Sigma Psi, never earning a degree in restaurant management after switching from engineering, but still had the best “five or six years of his life,” according to his t-shirt. Eldon married Kim Cairns in 1985 and had three children, Brandy, Levi, and Elijah before their divorce in 1992. Eldon ran the 76 Truckstop in Solomon, KS on I-70 for 17 years before changing careers and working in procurement while he raised his children as a single dad. He was then able to accomplish his dream and open his own restaurant, E’s Cafe in Solomon, where he could cook breakfast all day. He loved to cook, bake and smoke all day. His retirement was spent in Lawrence, KS living with his daughter Brandy’s family as their “manny,” something he bragged about to anyone who would listen. His life was his children and grandchildren, he was their Papa E. He loved sports: watching them, playing them and coaching them. He never missed a Solomon High School game if his kids were on the team and even set his alarm for any time in the morning to watch Leceister playing ‘football’ from across the pond. Eldon also refought WWII during Axis and Allies games with his best friends for decades. He loved to read and consumed hundreds of books from various genres. Survivors include his sisters Kathy Rasbold of Derby and Annette Wilson (Taylor) married to Evan Wilson of Abilene, his children Levi Taylor of Solomon and Brandy Taylor and her husband Blake Swenson of Lawrence, his grandchildren Nomy, Zinn and Wells Swenson; one step-brother, Steve and wife Kim Taylor of Liberty, MO and a niece and nephews. He was preceded in death by his parents, his nephew Joshua Rasbold and his youngest son, Elijah Taylor.

Services will be at Carlson-Becker Funeral Home in Solomon on Friday, January 10, 2025 at 2:00 P.M. There will be a lunch served following the service at the Red Bud Lake Clubhouse, 2191 Eden Road, Abilene, Kansas 67410. All are invited to attend. Online condolences may be sent to www.martinbeckercarlson.com

Gene loved his family, farming, raising livestock, visiting with neighbors and friends, and pick-up trucks – this is a love he shared and passed on to his son, Brad, as well as his grandsons, Michael and Brant! One of Gene’s all time favorite things was sitting around the kitchen table at the farm during “break time” and snacking with the kids/grandkids that happened to have stopped by at just the right time to enjoy a Dr. Pepper and a snack with Grandpa and Grandma.

Gene was a long-time member of the Industry evangelical United Brethren Church where he and Dorothy were the youth fellowship leaders for many years. They later attended the Chapman Methodist Church, and in most recent years have been regular attendees as well as members of Emmanuel Church in Abilene.

A kind and friendly Christian man, an honorable man, a loving husband, father, brother, grandfather, great-grandfather, great-great grandfather, uncle and friend, he is survived by his wife, Dorothy, two daughters, Jean Book (Glenn) of Abilene, Nancy McMaster (John) of Wichita, Kansas; and one son, Brad Hartenstein (Judy) of Manhattan, Kansas; one brother, Wilbur Hartenstein (Joyce) of Oregon; two sisters-in-law, Joanne Hartenstein and Carolee Hartenstein, both of Wichita, Kansas; seven grandchildren, Michael Ade (Christal), Shannon Krueger (Cody), Brian McMaster, Sarah Stalder (Cole), Brant Hartenstein (Jaimee), Traci Keefer (Case), and Austin McMaster; 10 great-grandchildren, Brittany Steede (Derek), Rachel Duer, Brynna Ade, Avery Baer, Josie Baer, Braylea Hartenstein, Ava Brown, Sam Krueger, Wade Krueger, and King Keefer, and one great-great granddaughter, Calliope Elizabeth Steede, plus 3 Bonus grandchildren, Cris (Kerri) Adams, Aaron (Michele) Adams, Lindsay (Matt) Bulk, and 4 Bonus great-grandchildren, Cooper Adams, Kennedy Adams, Olivia Adams, Brynlee Bulk, as well as many nephews and nieces.

Gene was preceded in death by his parents, Ted and Mildred Hartenstein; brothers Ted (Theodore Arthur) Hartenstein and Robert Hartenstein, and his sister, Francis Burdick.

Saline County Jail Bookings, Jan. 11

COFFEY COUNTY&nbsp;–&nbsp;A 32-year-old former Burlington High School teacher and wrestling coach was sentenced Thursday in Coffey County District Court related to the sexual abuse of two teens.

At a sentencing hearing on Jan. 9, a judge sentenced Michael Vander Linden, of Burlington, to 36 months in prison and lifetime registration as a registered offender for three counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child. Coffey County Attorney Wade Bowie prosecuted the case.

On Oct. 31, 2024, Michael Vander Linden pleaded no contest to the three counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child. The remaining charges were dismissed.

On Feb. 13, 2024, Kansas Bureau of Investigation (KBI) agents obtained an arrest warrant and took Vander Linden into custody after two former students reported he had engaged in sexual intercourse with them between 2012 and 2013, when both were 15-years-old.

Following the hearing, Vander Linden was remanded to the custody of the Coffey County Sheriff’s Office where he will be transferred to the Kansas Department of Corrections to fulfill his sentence.

COFFEY COUNTY –&nbsp; Law enforcement authorities have arrested a Kansas wrestling coach and teacher for alleged sex crimes.

Just after 7p.m. Wednesday, KBI agents arrested 31-year-old Michael Vander Linden of Burlington, Kansas, at 401 N. 12th St., in Burlington, according to a media release from the KBI. He was arrested on a warrant for eight counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child. 

Vander Linden is <a href="https://bhs.usd244ks.org/119401_2">employed as teacher </a>and wrestling and cross country coach at Burlington High School.&nbsp; He also directed the drama club and theater productions, according to the school web site.

In June 2022, the KBI initiated an investigation after the Coffey County Sheriff’s Office took a report from a former student of Vander Linden’s who reported a sexual relationship that took place in 2012 and 2013, when she was a sophomore and Vander Linden was a student teacher. 

The investigation led to a second former student who reported she also had sexual intercourse with Vander Linden on multiple occasions in 2013, when she was 15-years-old.

After the arrest, Vander Linden was booked into the Coffey County Jail.
