SALINA —A Kansas felon with a history of drug crimes is back in jail for allegedly threatened another man with hedge trimmers.
Just after 6 p.m. Tuesday, police were sent to the 300 block of W. Crawford Street in Salina for a belated report of trespassing, according to Police Captain Paul Forrester.
When they arrived, they found Cole Marlow, 37, of Salina, wielding a pair of black and yellow hedge trimmers in the parking lot at 302 W. Crawford Street.
Marlow was walking toward the 600 block of S. Ninth Street and yelling at a 22-year-old Salina man. Marlow allegedly was wildly swinging the hedge trimmers and advancing toward the other man.
The 22-year-old man told police that he had been on his porch and had a verbal exchange with Marlow, who was holding the hedge trimmers. Marlow allegedly began aggressively swinging the hedge trimmers and moving toward the other man, who was concerned that Marlow would attack him or his family. It was at that point that officers arrived.
Police also learned that Marlow allegedly trespassed in a yard in the 500 block of S. 10th Street. Marlow, who has four previous convictions for drugs, for intimidation of a witness, criminal damage, forgery and felony obstruction, was arrested on requested charges of Aggravated assault, Criminal trespassing and Pedestrian under the influence in the roadway. He completed in state post prison release February 27, according to the Kansas Department of Corrections.
