Salina Police have arrested a woman in connection with an alleged robbery.
Captain Mike Sweeney tells The Salina Post that 51-year-old Mary Jones went to the home of an acquaintance, 66-year-old Gary Johnson, in the 1400 block of Beverly at around 4:30 p.m. Sunday and demanded that Johnson give her his credit cards.
When Johnson refused, Jones allegedly picked up a candlestick holder and threatened to hit him with it. Johnson then picked up a .22 caliber revolver.
A struggle for the gun ensued, causing the weapon to discharge three shots into a ceiling inside the home.
After the struggle, Johnson locked himself inside a room and Jones fled the home with several items including the gun, the candlestick, a holster and a Samsung flip phone.
Sweeney said Jones was located later on Sunday evening at her home in the 700 block of Fairdale. The items were recovered and she was placed under arrest.
She was later booked into the Saline County Jail on requested charges of robbery and criminal trespassing.
