A Salina man who wanted police to remove his roommate ended up being arrested during an alleged incident over the weekend.
Just after 2p.m. Jan. 15, officers were dispatched to the 400 block of Baker Street to remove a person from a residence, according to Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester.
Upon arrival, they met with Andrew Marquez, 62, of Salina, who wanted his 47-year-old male roommate removed from the residence. According to Forrester, Marquez was highly intoxicated.
While an officer was speaking with the two men, Marquez went to the kitchen and returned holding a large kitchen knife and allegedly threatened both the officer and the roommate, Forrester reported.
The officer ordered Marquez to drop the knife at gunpoint, and he eventually complied and was taken into custody without incident.
Marquez was arrested on requested charges of Aggravated assault and Aggravated assault against a law enforcement officer.
