A North Platte man who was disturbing the peace of several residents, is now facing charges after he struggles with police.
At around 8:30 pm on Thursday, North Platte Police responded to the 1200 block of East 4th on the report of a male subject refusing to leave an apartment. The suspect left before police arrived.
The reporting party told police that Matt Griffis had showed up at his apartment unwanted and refused to leave. Officers were told Griffis left only after police were called.
Police searched the area, but were unable to locate Griffis.
Then, at 10:21 pm, Police were called back to the area after it was reported that Griffis was now at a different apartment. Again, Griffis departed as soon as Police were called.
Officers then met with another subject who told them Griffis had also banged on there door wanting to come inside to hide from Police.
Instead of offering a hiding place, the subject called the Police.
Officers were eventually able to locate Griffis in the area of 5th and Poplar after they received a call from yet another citizen who reported an intoxicated male walking in the area and being loud.
When Police went to take Griffis into custody, he refused to cooperate, and it took three Officers to eventually subdue him.
Griffis was placed in custody and charged with Disturbing the Peace, Trespassing and Resisting Arrest.
He was jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center.
