A 25-year-old Curtis woman is facing assault charges after she allegedly slapped a North Platte Police Officer.

At around 11:10 p.m., on June 26, officers at the Wild West Arena, 2400 North Buffalo Bill Avenue, were attempting to assist a highly intoxicated female who required medical attention.

According to police, a friend of the subject, Megan Romshek, became belligerent and defiant toward the officers as they tried to help the intoxicated female.

Police say Romshek continued to interfere and an officer attempted to restrain her.

At this point, police say Romshek slapped the officer in the face.

Romshek was placed under arrest and transported to the Lincoln County Detention Center, where she was jailed on charges of 3rd-degree assault on an officer and obstructing an officer.
