A 30-year-old North Platte woman is facing charges after she allegedly assaulted her domestic partner and a North Platte Police officer.

At around 1:30 a.m., on May 30, officers responded to a residence in the 300 block of East 11th Street on the report of a disturbance.

Officers arrived and met with a 32-year-old male who alleged that, following an argument, his domestic partner, Melinda Reyes, had jumped on him and began punching and clawing his face.

The victim then attempted to leave and asked a neighbor to call the police.

Following further investigation, officers determined that there was probable cause to arrest Reyes for domestic assault.

As officers attempted to take Reyes into custody, she allegedly became defiant and aggressive. At one point, police say Reyes kicked an officer multiple times, causing him injury and pain.

Officers were eventually able to subdue Reyes and take her into custody.

She was transported to the Lincoln County Detention Center and jailed on charges of 3rd-degree assault on an officer, 3rd-degree domestic assault, and resisting arrest.

Also, because the assault took place in front of a one-year-old child, Reyes was charged with child abuse.

Police say two male children, ages one and two, were placed in temporary protective custody with the Nebraska Department of Health and Human Services.
