A North Platte man is facing a felony weapons charge following a theft investigation by Police.

At around 3:30 pm on July 30, 2013, an officer with the North Platte Police Department (NPPD) responded to a reported theft in the 700 block of West B Street.  The residents told the responding Officer that they believed 29-year-old Christopher Rosenberg and a house guest had stolen property from them.

They told Police that jewelry and other personal items had been taken.  Additionally, they stated that a Hungary 9×18 handgun was also missing.

Through their investigation, Officers learned that the handgun had been seized during the service of a search warrant in the 900 block of  North Bailey in mid-July, and was being held in evidence at the Police Department.

Eventually, Investigators determined there was probable cause to arrest Rosenberg and charge him with being a Felon in Possession of a Firearm, a Class 1D Felony.

Rosenberg was jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center.
