A North Platte woman is in jail after she allegedly tried to get her point across to her boyfriend using a rock.

At around 9:53 a.m., on November 21, officers with the North Platte Police Department responded to Great Plains Health to meet with the victim of an assault.

Upon arrival, officers met with the 55-year-old male victim, who alleged that his live-in girlfriend, 48-year-old LeAnn Skinner, had assaulted him at their residence in the 2300 block of East Philip Avenue.

According to police, it was reported that the victim and Skinner had been arguing, so the victim contacted a family member to come and remove him from the situation.

The victim claimed that, as he was packing his belongings, Skinner struck him in the back of the head with a rock.

He stated that when the family member arrived to pick him up, they had to force their way into the residence.

Police contacted the family member, who advised that, when they arrived, they heard what sounded like an assault taking place inside the residence.  As a result, they forced their way into the home, where they found the injured victim.

Officers made contact with Skinner, who was hospitalized for unrelated reasons.

Authorities say there was some confusion on when Skinner was released from the hospital, but, in any case, she was contacted on December 29, and placed under arrest.

Skinner was jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center on a charge of felony aggravated assault.

The victim was treated for non-life threatening injuries and released.
