NORTH PLATTE, Neb. (AP) – Police say a 19- year-old man was captured by two emergency medical technicians who had been lured by a false call to a North Platte home. The North Platte Telegraph reports that Carlos Charging Elk was arrested Sunday night. A medical team was dispatched to the home a little before 8 p.m. to answer a call about a woman who had cut herself. Two of the EMTs entered the home. Police Lt. Rich Thompson says Charging Elk locked the door behind them and threatened them. The third EMT called for police help. Thompson says Charging Elk attacked the EMTs but dropped his knife. The EMTs grabbed him, unlocked the door and were dragging him outside when officers arrived. Charging Elk remained in jail Tuesday. Court records don’t list his attorney.
