SALINE COUNTY —A Kansas man is under investigation after a fight near Kansas Wesleyan University on Saturday led to confrontations with  school security and Salina police officers.

Just before 4p.m. on November 2, following the Kansas Wesleyan  football game, three people were walking to their car when they encountered 25-year-old Donovan Green of Salina who was reportedly yelling profanities at a person passing nearby, according to Salina. Police Captain James Feldman.

Green allegedly turned his attention toward the group and then directed his remarks at them. The group warned Green to back off, but Green reportedly charged a 25-year-old man from Fairfax, Virginia, in an attempt to tackle him.

The man from Virginia managed to take Green to the ground and restrained him until school security and police arrived.

Officers reported that Green was uncooperative and continued to escalate the situation. According to Feldman, Green spat in an officer’s face as they attempted to take him into custody. When officers used a restraint device known as a wrap to secure him, Green allegedly head-butted another officer while being placed in the patrol car.

Green was booked into the Saline County Jail on requested charges including battery, two counts of battery against a law enforcement officer, interference, and disorderly conduct. The officer was not injured, according to Feldman.
