The Kansas Bureau of Investigation is investigating an incident at the Saline County Jail Monday evening where a man in custody became involved in an altercation with corrections deputies and later died.

Saline County Sheriff’s Captain and jail administrator Brent Melander said the man, who was in his 50’s, became involved in a physical altercation with two corrections deputies around 6:00 p.m. Monday evening and the man and deputies were transported to Salina Regional Health Center.

The man whose name has not been released, died early Tuesday morning. Corrections Deputy Andrew Fillipe was treated and released from the hospital, while deputy David Grove was held for observation for serious injuries.

Salina Police Captain Mike Sweeney said officers were sent to the 2000 block of Norton just before 5:30p.m. on a domestic disturbance report.

The man, who was taken into custody for allegedly punching a woman in her 50’s in the face, resisted arrest but eventually taken to jail.

Any further information concerning the case will be released by the KBI.
