At around 1:30 a.m., on October 5, officers with the North Platte Police Department responded to the report of an assault in the 700 block of East 10th Street.

Officers were advised that an ambulance was en route to the location for an injured 20-year-old woman.

According to Officer Rodney Brown, it was reported that the woman’s ex-boyfriend, Jeremy Nelsen, pushed the female down a flight of stairs and out the front door of the residence.
