Print this story Empty gas tank leads to 2 arrests Two Salina men were arrested in rural McPherson County Saturday after a stolen car ran out of gas. The car, a 1989 Ford Crown Victoria, was reported stolen by its owner, Bryce A. Fox, Salina, between 7:45 and 11 p.m. Friday from the parking lot at Great Plains Manufacturing, said Carson Mansfield, deputy Salina police chief. The car was unlocked, he said, and a key wasn't needed to start it. Salina police were notified at 3:15 a.m. Saturday that a McPherson County sheriff's deputy had noticed the car on the county road and determined it was stolen. He arrested Tony Fields, 30, and Christopher Patton, 20, Salina, who were at the car while a good Samaritan was involved in providing fuel for the car, Mansfield said. Fox, Fields and Patton all list the same Salina address. Man hospitalized after brief standoff A Salina man was taken to Salina Regional Health Center on Sunday after a brief standoff at a residence. Deputy Salina Police Chief Carson Mansfield said Monday that officers went to 327 Gypsum, No. 1, at 1:23 p.m. after a report of threats made by a man inside. "He made statements he was going to hurt himself. He had a shotgun inside and wasn't coming out," Mansfield said. Police secured the area and told people to leave their nearby apartments. Mansfield said the situation was under control by 3 p.m. The resident, Patrick J. Hubnik, 24, was taken to the hospital. College student dies in Puerto Rico LINCOLN, Neb. -- A 20-year-old University of Nebraska-Lincoln student has died during a spring break trip to Puerto Rico. Brian Smith, Omaha, collapsed on Saturday and was taken to a San Juan hospital, where he died, university authorities said in an e-mail Sunday. Authorities said they do not yet know the cause of Smith's death, but foul play is not suspected. Smith graduated from Creighton Prep in 2006. He was among 19 students who traveled to Puerto Rico last week with associate professor Larkin Powell to study the ecology of the region. Smith's family is arranging to bring his body back to Nebraska. John Smith said his son loved spending time outdoors hunting and fishing. He wrestled and played lacrosse in high school. "He enjoyed life," John Smith said.
