A North Platte man is facing numerous felony charges following an alleged assault on his girlfriend.

Additionally, they found a large amount of cash, just over a pound of marijuana, suspected methamphetamine, drug paraphernalia consistent with the use and distribution of methamphetamine and marijuana and firearms.
