HARVEY COUNTY— A Newton man is under arrest after a Sunday night incident where he is said to have thrown household items from his apartment window and threatened the rest of the building.
Police had been to Midtown Towers in Newton multiple times over the weekend attempting to contact a person reported to be suicidal and breaking personal property.
Officers asked people to leave or shelter in place while they tried to help 58-year-old Lyle Gulick. After more than four hours of talking, police learned that Gulick was wanted on felony warrants for his arrest for aggravated burglary, theft and two counts of stalking.
Just before midnight Sunday, the Harvey County Emergency Response Team forced entry into the apartment and took Gulick to NMC Health, where he was medically cleared, and he was booked into the Harvey County Detention Center.
In addition to the warrants, Gulick was booked on requested charges of aggravated assault, felony obstruction to official duty, criminal damage and disorderly conduct.
He has previous convictions for aggravated assault and criminal damage to property, according to the Kansas Department of Corrections.
