SALINE COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities arrested two brothers and are searching for another after a Saturday fight on north Old Highway 81 in Saline County.
Just before 4:30p.m., deputies responded to the 4700 block of North Old Highway 81 for the report of a fight, according to Saline County Sheriff Roger Soldan.
Two brothers, Carlito Morales, 30, of Solomon, and Anthony Morales, 29, of Salina, began arguing as the vehicle was traveling on North Old Highway 40, Soldan said.
At some point, the vehicle stopped and the brothers got out and began fighting.
A third brother who was not involved in the fight, Cordell Vazquez, 25, of Minneapolis, decided to leave and got into the driver's seat. As he was starting to pull away, Carlito Morales tried to get into the vehicle and was run over, causing scrapes and injury to his arm, according to Soldan. A woman and a young child in a car seat also were in the vehicle.
Deputies stopped the vehicle on Old Highway 81 on its way to Salina. Anthony Morales left the scene of the reported fight and has yet to be found, according to Soldan.
EMS transported Carlito Morales to Salina Regional Health Center, where he was treated and released. Carlito Morales was then booked into the Saline County Jail on the requested charge of domestic battery for the reported fight, he noted.
During the investigation, it was determined that Vazquez had four active warrants. Vazquez was arrested on the warrants as well as the following requested charges of Aggravated battery (for allegedly striking his brother with the vehicle), Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs, Driving while suspended, Child endangerment and Violation of a protection order (because of the woman in the vehicle)
