A North Platte mom and her son have been charged with assault following a disturbance Saturday afternoon.

At around 1:58 p.m., on September 13, North Platte Police responded to a disturbance in the 1300 block of Travis Drive.

Upon arrival, officers found 35-year-old Desirae Coffman in a heated argument with her 18-year-old son, Isaiah.

Following an investigation, officers learned that the argument started after Isaiah accused his mother’s friend of stealing property from the home.

According to Officer Rodney Brown, the argument escalated to the point that the two threw household items at each other, and Isaiah physically removed his mother from the house.

Brown said Isaiah was jailed for 3rd degree assault (mutual consent).

Desirae, who needed medical attention for an injury to her finger, was cited for the same charge and released.

Police say other children were present in the home during the argument.
