A North Platte man is in jail on felony charges after an investigation into harassing phone calls revealed an assault that had taken place earlier.

On November 22, at around 11:30 a.m., North Platte policed received a complaint from a 48-year-old female that her boyfriend, 38-year-old Anthony Bennett, had been harassing her via phone calls and text messages.

Following further investigation, officers determined that probable cause existed to arrest Bennett and charge him with felony 2nd degree domestic assault, felony terroristic threats and use of a weapon to commit a felony.
