SALINE COUNTY —Law enforcement are investigating a Kansas woman on multiple allegations after a domestic incident in Salina.
Just after noon Tuesday, police were dispatched to Dollar General, 2000 S. 9th Street in Salina after a report of a physical disturbance in the parking lot, according to Salina Police Captain James Feldman.
The incident had been reported by multiple citizens in the area. Both involved parties had left the area prior to officers’ arrival.
The man involved called police shortly after the initial report and officers made contact with him. The man, a 39 years old of Salina, told police he had been in the Dollar General with a 5-year-old boy and a woman associate identified as 29-year-old Courtney Vaughns of Salina.
He indicated a verbal argument began in the store and Vaughns walked out followed by the man.
Vaughns then began swinging at the man and struck him. The man took the vehicle keys from Vaughns and placed the child in the vehicle as Vaughns continued to physically strike him.
The man then got into the vehicle and Vaughns sprayed pepper spray into the vehicle striking both him and the child with the spray. The man then left the area. They refused medical attention.
Officers located Vaughns in the 1800 block of S. 9th and took her into custody. She was booked into the Saline County Jail on requested charges that include 2 counts of Domestic Battery, 2 counts of Battery, Endangering a Child and Interference with Law Enforcement.
