A North Platte couple decided to play a game of hide-and-seek with North Platte Police and lost.

According to Officer Rodney Brown, police received information on Tuesday afternoon that Mark Ramos, 29, was at a residence in the 1900 block of West 15th Street.  Ramos had an active warrant for a violation of federal probation.

Upon arrival, the homeowner, 29-year-old Rosa Quintero, told officers that Ramos was not there.  However, she did allow them to enter the home.

Officers conducted a search of the residence, and eventually located Ramos hiding inside a dryer. He was arrested on the federal warrant, two Lancaster County warrants and a 3rd degree assault charge.

The assault charge stems from a November 8th incident, where Ramos allegedly went to a residence in the 2100 block of West 16th and assaulted the male resident.

A further search of Quintero’s home revealed glass pipes and small baggies which contained a powdery residue that field tested positive for methamphetamine.

As a result, Quintero was arrested and charged with Possession of Methamphetamine and Accessory to a Felony.

Both Quintero and Ramos were transported to the Lincoln County Detention Center.
