Law enforcement authorities are investigating a Kansas man after an incident that began in downtown Salina late Monday night.

Just before 11p.m., police were sent to Homewood Suites by Hilton, 115 E. Mulberry Street, for the report of a man allegedly following and harassing a 28-year-old woman who had a protection order against him, according to Salina Police Captain Gary Hanus. Another woman in her 20s was with the 28-year-old.

The incident began at the hotel and then continued while the women were in a vehicle. They returned to the hotel to report the incident to police. Officers determined that the man, identified as Donald Craig Walker, 59, of McPherson, was driving a black Ford Escort, and began looking for him.

At approximately 1 a.m. Tuesday, an officer located and stopped the car, which looked to be driving erratically, in the 200 block of S. Broadway Boulevard, Hanus said. During the stop, a deployed K-9 indicated to the odor of an illegal drug. A search of the vehicle revealed an illegal drug.

Walker was arrested on requested charges of Violation of a protection order, Possession of a stimulant, No tax stamp and Possession of drug paraphernalia.
