SALINE COUNTY- Law enforcement authorities in Saline County are investigating a suspect in connection with an aggravated assault with a BB-gun.

On Thursday police officers were sent to a home in the 600 block on North 12 Street in Salina just after 1 p.m. on a report of threats made with a gun, according to Captain Mike Sweeney.

When they arrived, Franklin Price, 55, tried to prevent officers from entering the home by holding the door shut.

Officers were able to make entry and learned that Price had forced his way into the home and forced a 46-year-old woman into a corner of a room and pointed a handgun at her and a 24-year-old man.

Price was booked into the Saline County Jail on requested charges of aggravated assault, obstruction, and domestic battery.
