NORTH PLATTE, Neb.-A 31-year-old North Platte man was arrested over the weekend following an alleged assault that involved a gun.
On March 29, at around 1:23 a.m., officers responded to a disturbance in the 2400 block of West 9th Street.
Officers arrived and met with a victim who stated that they had been assaulted by Cody Williams.
The victim told officers that, during the incident, Williams had produced a handgun, pointed it at the victim then struck him with the gun.
Police say the victim's injuries corroborated his account of the events that took place.
Williams had already left the scene when officers arrived, however, they were able to locate his vehicle a short time later in the 400 block of North Jeffers and initiate a traffic stop.
Police say it appeared that Williams was intoxicated when they made contact with him, and officers could see a handgun in the vehicle. Officers seized the gun and determined that it was stolen.
Following further investigation, officers determined that there was probable cause to arrest Williams on suspicion of terroristic threats, 2nd-degree assault, use of a weapon to commit a felony, driven under the influence and possession of a stolen firearm.
Additionally, police say officers also located suspected methamphetamine in the vehicle. That substance was sent to the Nebraska State Crime Lab for testing. More charges may be forthcoming, pending the results of the test.
Officers transported Williams to the Lincoln County Detention Center where he is being held pending an appearance in County Court.
