SALINE COUNTY —Law enforcement authorities are investigating a suspect after an incident at a south Salina bank on Saturday.

Just after 3p.m. Saturday, officers were dispatched to Central National Bank in Walmart, 2900 S. Ninth Street in Salina for the report of a man  making a threat about a shooting, according to Salina Police Captain Paul Forrester.

Bank employees told police that the man entered the bank and allegedly said there would be a shooting soon. The employees locked themselves in a back room and called police. After reviewing surveillance video, police identified the man as Aldo Steffen, 33, of Salina.

Forrester said officers located Steffan near the north entrance to Walmart and arrested him on the requested charge of aggravated criminal threat.
