A North Platte woman is in jail after a domestic disturbance led to the discovery of prescription drugs.

At around 2:00 a.m. on Wednesday, officers with the North Platte Police Department responded to a domestic disturbance at the Arrowhead Motel, 820 South Bailey.

Upon arrival, a 50-year-old male victim told officers that his girlfriend, 46-year-old Claudette Philbrick would not leave the room following an argument and assaulted him.  He alleged that Philbrick choked him and injured his arm during the struggle, according to Officer Rodney Brown.

Following further investigation, officers determined that there was probable cause to arrest Philbrick for 3rd degree domestic assault, a Class I misdemeanor.

Philbrick was transported to the Lincoln County Detention Center, where a search of her person revealed a prescription drug containing  Codeine, and the prescription drug Phenytoin Sodium, an anti-seizure medication.  Brown said Philbrick did not have a prescription for either drug.

In addition to the assault charge, Philbrick was also charged with possession of a controlled substance, a Class IV felony, and possession of a legend drug, a class III misdemeanor.
