A 32-year-old North Platte man is behind bars following an alleged assault involving a knife.

At around 12:10 a.m., on January 31, officers with the North Platte Police Department responded to a residence in the 300 block of South Sycamore, on the report of a physical disturbance that had taken place at an earlier time.

Officers met with a 38-year-old female, who alleged that she had gotten into an argument with James Henley, Jr.

She alleged that Henley began throwing property, and attempted to leave with property belonging to her.

The victim stated that when she tried to stop him, Henley grabbed a 5.5 inch knife, placed it on her throat and threatened her.

Henley then allegedly pushed the victim to the ground and left the scene.

A short time later, officers located Henley at room at the Cedar Lodge Motel, 421 Rodeo Road.

Following further investigation, officers determined there was probable cause to place Henley under arrest.

He was transported to the Lincoln County Detention Center, and jailed on charges of felony terroristic threats, felony possession of a deadly weapon by a prohibited person, use of a weapon to commit a felony and 3rd degree domestic assault.
