SALINE COUNTY – Law enforcement authorities are investigating a suspect for a weekend assault.

A 39-year-old Salina man was arrested after he allegedly threatened a neighbor before hitting another with a metal baseball bat, according to Police Capt. Paul Forrester.

Just after 7p.m. Sunday, Latishia Ford, 29, and Nicholas Albany, 38, both of Salina, were sitting on a porch at a home in the 400 block of Baker in Salina, according to Police Captain Paul Forrester.

A neighbor, George Wagner, came out of his house with what appeared to be a black handgun and allegedly threatened Ford before going back inside his home.

Albany went to confront Wagner and knocked on his door. Wagner answered the door swinging a metal baseball bat and allegedly hit Albany in the face, according to Forrester.

Police arrested Wagner and booked him into the Saline County Jail on two counts of aggravated assault and one count of aggravated battery. Authorities also found a black BB gun and two metal bats in his residence, according to Forrester.
