A mid-morning nap in the parking lot of a North Platte truck stop has led to felony charges for a Holdrege couple.

At around 10:00 a.m., on March 15, an officer with the North Platte Police Department responded to Flying J, 3400 South Newberry Road, to conduct a welfare check after police were notified that a man was slumped over the steering wheel of a silver Ford Taurus.

The officer located the vehicle and observed 45-year-old Jack Woodke, 21-year-old Michelle Grigg and two small children, ages one and two, asleep in the vehicle.

The officer made contact with the couple and learned they both had active warrants out of Phelps County.

After the duo was taken into custody, officers conducted a search of the vehicle and located a glass pipe containing marijuana, paraphernalia commonly used to consume methamphetamine and marijuana, paraphernalia used in the distribution of methamphetamine and marijuana, 320 grams of marijuana, 11 grams of THC wax compound and 15 grams of methamphetamine.

In the end, Woodke and Grigg were transported to the Lincoln County Detention Center and charged with two counts of felony possession of marijuana with intent to deliver, felony possession of methamphetamine with intent to deliver, felony child abuse, and possession of drug paraphernalia.

Once at the jail, officers located more meth on Woodke’s person, along with around $1,500 cash.

The children were transported to Great Plains Health for basic medical care, and placed in the custody of the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services.

As of Monday afternoon, Woodke and Grigg were being held at the LCDC without bond.
