A 48-year-old North Platte woman has been charged with a felony after she allegedly rammed a car and punched a man.
At around 2:15 a.m., on Friday, North Platte Police responded to the area of 6th Street and Poplar Street on the report of a female subject attempting to strike someone with her fists.
Upon arrival, officers learned that Mary Castor had intentionally struck the driver’s side door of an occupied Chevy Blazer with her Chrysler 300. Castor then allegedly exited her vehicle, approached the Blazer, reached inside and punched a 43-year-old male. The victim complained of facial pain caused by Castor’s attack.
Officer Rodney Brown said a 35-year-old female and a 15-year-old female were also in the Blazer but were uninjured.
Following further investigation, Castor was placed under arrest and charged with felony attempted 1st degree assault and 3rd degree domestic assault. She was jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center.
As officers continued their investigation, Castor’s daughter, 19-year-old Jessica Castor, arrived at the scene and approached the officers and victims. Brown said Jessica began screaming and interfering with the investigation.
As a result, Jessica was arrested and charged with disturbing the peace. She too was transported to the LCDC and jailed.
