An alleged attack in which a man allegedly threw alcohol on a woman and swung a bat at her prompted his arrest.

According to Salina Police, on Wednesday at about 12:00 PM officers responded to the 200 block of N. Columbia in reference to a domestic disturbance where a female subject was possibly struck with a bat.

Upon arrival, contact was made with a 44-year-old female of Salina, who reported she was visiting a known associate, identified as 43-year-old Jeremiah Bastin.

The two began arguing and Bastin reportedly threw alcohol on the female and then retrieved a baseball bat and swung it at the female but missed. He then retreated into a back room of the residence.
