A Salina man was arrested after an aggravated burglary incident in southeast Salina early Monday evening.
When a 62-year-old Salina woman returned to her home on Red Fox Lane at approximately 6:30 p.m. Monday, she heard a door at the back of the house slam shut, Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester said this morning.
In her bedroom, she found items strewn about.
Forrester said the woman then went around to the front of the house and saw a skinny, balding white male who appeared to be in his late 20s or 30s. He was wearing a blue sweat suit. Other witnesses said he was wearing Adidas sweats with a white stripe down the side.
When the woman asked him what he was doing there, he told her he lived in the residence.
It appeared that approximately $20 worth of food had been eaten. Also, the woman's SIG Sauer 232 .380 caliber hand gun was missing. Additionally, a cellphone that did not belong to the woman was found in the residence.
A bit after the woman's encounter with the alleged burglar, an officer located a person matching his description near the intersection of Manchester Road and E. Republic Avenue.
Forrester said Christopher Garrison, 31, of Salina, was arrested on the following requested charges.
