A possible theft call ended with a North Platte woman going to jail after a police officer was injured.
At around 8:01 p.m., on June 25, officers with the North Platte Police Department were called to the 1400 block of East 4th Street, after receiving a report that someone was attempting to break into a storage unit.
The complainant was able to provide police with a vehicle description and license plate number.
As officers arrived, they observed a vehicle matching that description leaving the area and conducted a traffic stop.
One officer spoke with the male driver of the vehicle, as other officers attempted to identify two female passengers.
During the process, police say one of the females, later identified as Alejandra Reyna, provided a false name and ran from the vehicle.
With the help of a citizen, officers were able to apprehend Reyna, who became combative and resisted officers attempts to detain her.
Reyna was eventually apprehended and placed under arrest.
Authorities say, as a result of the struggle, one officer sustained a knee injury.
Reyna was transported to the Lincoln County Detention Center and charged with resisting arrest, providing false information and assault of a peace officer.
Officers also found suspected methamphetamine in Reyna’s pocketĀ and learned that she had two active warrants.
Police say lab tests on the suspected meth are pending.
Officers did not report any charges filed against the driver of the vehicle or the other passenger.
