A Salina man is arrested on a requested Hostile Demonstration charge after SPD are called to the hospital parking lot on Wednesday.
SPD responded to the parking lot of SRHC at 2:05 pm on Wednesday, December 8, on the report of an assault.
The victim, an unknown age Salina resident, was exiting the hospital and was reportedly approached by a male identified as Dromico Elam, a 41-year-old male, listed as homeless. The victim reported that Elam had a knife, described as a large folding knife, with the blade out. Because of a language barrier between the victim and subject, it's unclear exactly what was said. However, Elam allegedly followed the victim to his vehicle.
The victim got inside his vehicle, called his sister, and his sister then called 911. Elam then reportedly put the knife away and walked northbound on Santa Fe.
Officers located Elam, who was reportedly in possession of a pocket knife. Captain Forrester said that Elam is also on State Parole, so an Arrest & Detain Warrant was issued for him by State Parole. Elam was transported on the A&D warrant and charged on the following requested charge:
• Hostile Demonstration With A Weapon
