SALINE COUNTY – Law enforcement authorities in Saline County are investigating a suspect on assault charges.

Just after 11 a.m. on Wednesday, police were called to a home in the 700 Block of East Ash in Salina in response to a domestic dispute between 42-year-old Davey Favors and 32-year-old Samantha Haggard, according to Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester.

The two had been involved in an argument, when Favors allegedly became physically abusive to Haggard, and threatened her with a machete.

Officers observed some redness to Haggard’s right cheek, but she declined medical treatment, according to Forrester.

Favors was arrested and booked into the Saline County Jail on requested charges of aggravated assault, criminal restraint, and domestic battery.
