A North Platte man is in jail on felony charges after he allegedly assaulted his girlfriend and fought with police.

According to Investigator John Deal, officers responded to a disturbance in the 1100 block of South Tabor at around 10:46 a.m., on Thursday.

Officers met with the residents, 32-year-old Kenneth Cassell and a female.

Officers determined that an argument had taken place and Cassell had pushed the female down, causing her pain.

As officers attempted to place him under arrest, Deal said Cassell grabbed onto a fence in an attempt to gain leverage and pull away.

Deal said as officers took Cassell to the ground, part of the fence broke.

During the melee, one of the officers sustained a cut to his forehead.

Eventually, Cassell was subdued and transported to the Lincoln County Detention Center.

He’s been charged with domestic assault, criminal mischief, resisting arrest and felony assault on an officer.
