A 54-year-old North Platte woman is facing felony charges after she allegedly used a glass vase as a weapon during a fight.

At around 9:15 p.m., on Halloween, officers with the North Platte Police Department responded to the report of an assault in the 1800 block of Front Street.

Upon arrival, officers learned that multiple women had been at the residence drinking when a fight broke out.

According to Officer Rodney Brown, it was reported that Cindy Grass and 45-year-old Claudia Philbrick began to fight.

At one point, Grass allegedly threw a glass vase at Philbrick and hit her in the face.

Brown says Philbrick was transported to Great Plains Health, where she received multiple stitches.

Following further investigation, officers determined that there was probable cause to charge Grass with felony 1st degree assault, due to the possibility of long-term injury to Philbrick.

It was also determined that there was probable cause to charge Philbrick and another female, 45-year-old Kimberly McCarter, with 3rd degree mutual assault.

They were cited and released, Grass was jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center.
