SALINE COUNTY — Law enforcement authorities are investigating a report of shots fired Wednesday and have one suspect in custody. Police arrested Dakota Bunting, 19, Salina, according to police captain Paul Forrester.

He is being held for marijuana possession and other drug charges, according to the Saline County Jail booking report. The search for a second suspect continues and Bunting is not cooperating with the investigation, according to Forrester.

Just after 4:30p.m. Tuesday, a uniformed Saline County Deputy was washing his marked patrol vehicle at the car wash located at Broadway and State Street in Salina, according to a media release from police.

The deputy heard gunshots to the east of his location. The deputy ran to the sounds of the gunfire and ordered one of the suspects to the ground. The deputy did not fire any rounds at the subjects. The other individual involved in this incident fled the scene in a silver midsize passenger car, westbound on State Street. This vehicle is further described as having a shattered or spider-webbed left rear window. The first three characters of the Kansas license plate are possibly 649 or 049.

The other involved individual is described as a white male in his twenties. The occupant(s) of the vehicle should be considered armed and dangerous, according to police.

Neither the Saline County Deputy nor the suspect that was taken into custody were injured. It is unknown if the occupant(s) of the silver vehicle was injured.
