Three North Platte men are facing charges after they raised a ruckus at a North Platte motel, then fought and argued with police.

At around 1:00 a.m. on Friday morning, officers responded to the Days Inn on the report of a noise disturbance in one of the rooms.

The front desk clerk at the motel told officers that there was a lot of yelling coming from one of the rooms, and other guests were complaining.

According to Investigator John Deal, officers went to the room and made contact with several intoxicated individuals, including Rodger Roose, Jacob Hughes and David Hughes.

Officers warned the people in the room about the noise, but Deal said it did no good.

Knowing that Roose had an active warrant, officers placed him under arrest.

Jacob Hughes took exception to his friend being placed under arrest, and physically intervened to keep officers from arresting Roose.  Deal said Hughes yelled and lunged at the officers.

He too was placed under arrest and taken to a cruiser where Deal said he kicked the door and continued to be uncooperative.

At this time, David Hughes began to protest Jacob’s arrest by yelling at officers and refusing to leave the scene.  Deal said at one point, David went as far as to put his hand on the open door of a cruiser to prevent the officer from closing it.   As a result, he was also placed under arrest.

In the end, Jacob Hughes was charged with felony resisting arrest, obstructing the police and disturbing the peace, David Hughes was charged with obstruction and disturbing the peace, and Roose was jailed on the warrant.
