A 28-year-old North Platte man was arrested for an alleged assault on Sunday evening at around 6:45PM.
Someone reported to authorities that they could hear screaming which made the caller concerned that an assault was taking place. Officers from the North Platte PD responded to the 100 block of E. 5th Street where the victim, according to the news release from the NPPD, told officers that Marcos Escarsega, her domestic partner, hit her in the face which caused damage to her eye. Three children were apparently there during the alleged incident.
Escarsega was arrested for 3rd Degree Domestic Assault and three counts of Child Abuse then jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center.
