GRAND ISLAND, Neb.-A Grand Island man was arrested on felony allegations following a domestic disturbance.
At around 12:10 a.m., on Tuesday, police responded to a disturbance at the Grand Island Extended Stay, 3021 South Locust St.
Officers made contact with a female who alleged that Miguel Samaniego assaulted her by striking her numerous times, biting her and strangling her. Police said officers observed numerous visible injuries that corroborated the allegations.
Police said a child was present during the assault and left with Samaniego.
Officers located Samaniego in a vehicle and attempted to initiate a traffic stop, but he failed to comply and fled.
A short time later, a trooper with the Nebraska State Patrol located Samaniego after he was involved in an accident.
Police said Samaniego refused to comply with orders given by officers and used the child as a shield, exposing the child to danger.
After some negotiation, Samaniego was taken into custody without incident.
He was jailed on suspicion of kidnapping, strangulation, 3rd-degree domestic assault (with a prior conviction), 1st-degree false imprisonment, child abuse, willful reckless driving, flight to avoid prosecution, protection order violation, obstruction, no operator's license, no seatbelt, and a child restraint violation.
