A local business employee notices an unauthorized person rummaging through his employers van on Tuesday evening.
At 1:20pm, Salina Police were dispatched to the 500 block of Sunset Dr. for a disturbance. When officers arrived, they found an 18-year-old male suspect, later identified as Lucas Bolen, being held on the ground by two subjects.
One of the subjects reported that he watched Lucas Bolen enter his employers van, and knew that Mr. Bolen shouldn't be in the van. The man confronted Bolen, who then punched the victim in the face. It was allegedly found that Lucas Bolen also stole a screwdriver out of the van, valued at $20.
The victim who was punched in the face had no injuries. Lucas Bolen was charged on the following requested charges:
