NORTH PLATTE, Neb.-A North Platte man has been arrested on allegations that he assaulted a female and held her against her will.
North Platte police said at around 4:24 a.m. on July 2, officers responded to the report of a disturbance in the 2600 block of West 20th St.
Officers arrived and made contact with a female who said she had gotten into an argument with Javin Newbrey, 24.
Police said the victim told officers that, during the argument, Newbrey had placed his hands around her neck. She said she was able to get away, but Newbrey threw her down on the bed and placed his hands over her mouth to prevent her from screaming.
Police said Newbrey let the victim up, but would not allow her to leave and held her, against her will, for over an hour.
The female was able to eventually escape and contact law enforcement.
Officers place Newbrey under arrest on suspicion of 3rd-degree domestic assault and 2nd-degree false imprisonment.
Police said suspected methamphetamine was also found in Newbrey's possession. As a result, he was also jailed on suspicion of possession of a controlled substance.
Newbrey was jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center.
