A North Platte woman is in jail on felony charges after she was found to be in possession of a stolen cell phone.

According to Officer Rodney Brown, at around 3:00 p.m., on January 22, an employee with US Cellular, 116 N. Jeffers, reported the theft of a cell phone from the business to police.

It was alleged that 28-year-old Daniel Endicott stole a Samsung Galaxy S4 and SIM card.  Employees said Endicott was in the business at the time the theft occurred.

Following further investigation, officers learned that 39-year-old Roxanne Duran was in possession of the stolen phone and SIM card.

At around 2:00 a.m., on February 3, officers located Duran at the Casey’s Store, 2421 Rodeo Road.

Duran denied being in possession of the phone and allowed officers to search her person and belongings.

During the search, officers located the stolen phone, which contained the SIM card, in a bag belonging to Duran.

Additionally, they discovered drug paraphernalia, Clonazepam, Acetaminophen/Hydrocodone, Zolpidem and Tramadol, all controlled substances.  They also found several empty clear baggies and a baggie containing a white powder and crystal substance, which field tested positive for methamphetamine.  Brown said they will be sent to the Nebraska State Patrol Crime Lab for further testing.

Duran was transported to the Lincoln County Detention Center and charged with possession of stolen property, 4 counts of possession of a controlled substance, possession of legend drugs and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Endicott, who was already incarcerated for another offense, was also charged with felony theft by shoplifting for allegedly stealing the phone.
