A North Platte man and a 17-year-old girl are facing felony drug charges after an encounter with police at a local motel.

On Friday, officers with the North Platte Police Department responded to Motel 6, 1520 South Jeffers Street, after receiving information that 31-year-old Chris Rosenberg and a 17-year-old female were using illicit drugs in a room there.

Officers made contact with the couple and, as they spoke to them, noticed drug paraphernalia inside the room.

A search of the room revealed contraband consistent with the use of methamphetamine, and a field test confirmed the presence of meth.

According to Officer Rodney Brown, the female became uncooperative when officers tried to place her under arrest, and attempted to dispose of evidence.

She was eventually subdued and transported to the Lincoln County Detention Center.  She was jailed on charges of felony possession of methamphetamine, resisting arrest and obstruction of justice.

A search of Rosenberg revealed multiple Oxycodone pills.  As a result, he was also charged with felony possession of a controlled substance and jailed.

The Post is choosing not to name the juvenile pending the filing of formal charges.
