At 8:22 a.m. Tuesday, Hays Police officers responded to a 911 call from a business in the 500 block of Vine Street regarding an upset man in a red Ford Mustang looking to get his semi out of impound. The semi had previously been impounded and stored at the business.

The semi owner, later identified as Mitchell W. Dallmann, 29, had reportedly pulled a rifle out of his vehicle while in the parking lot of the business. Dallmann had cycled the action of the rifle, waved it around while yelling at an employee of the business and then drove southbound. Dallmann was located in La Crosse by the Rush County Sheriff’s Department and was arrested without further incident for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. Dallman is currently in the Ellis County jail.

“The Hays Police Department would like to thank the Ellis County Sheriff’s Department, Rush County Sheriff’s Department, and the Kansas Highway Patrol for their assistance,” the HPD said in a news release. “Dallmann is considered innocent until proven guilty by a court of law.”
