A 33-year-old Salina woman was arrested Friday morning after she threatened a police officer with a kitchen knife while he was trying to serve her with municipal and district court warrants.

Heather Platte raised the knife and moved toward the police officer after opening the front door of her home at 911 Maple just after 9:30 am Friday morning. The officer stepped back and Platte then closed the door. She tried to get out of the house through a window and had to be pepper sprayed and tased before being apprehended by police.

In addition to the warrants, Platte faces additional charges of aggravated assault of a law enforcement officer, criminal threats, and obstruction.
