A North Platte man is facing felony charges after he allegedly pointed a gun at a woman and made threats.

North Platte Police say officers were sent to the 1100 block of South Tabor Street at around 11:56 pm on Tuesday.

Officers arrived and met with the victim and witnesses, who alleged that Tyson Roy had arrived at the residence upset and looking for another male.

The victim and witnesses say Roy was asked to leave the property, at which time he became angry and removed a silver handgun that was concealed under his jacket.

Police say Roy then pointed the gun at her, racked the slide on the handgun and made a comment about “finding” the other male, then left the scene.

Officers had information that led them to believe that Roy was headed a residence  in the area of F Street and Cottonwood Avenue.

Officers made contact with a male at the residence there who claimed that Roy had knocked on his door, but he ignored him and didn’t answer it because he knew Roy was upset.

Officers then responded back to the scene of the original incident and observed Roy leaving in a car.

A traffic stop was initiated and Roy was placed under arrest.

Police say Roy had a holster and ammunition for a handgun, but did not have the gun itself in his possession.

After learning that Roy was living in a camper in the backyard of a residence in the 1900 block of West 3rd Street, officers obtained a search warrant and conducted a search of the camper.

During the search, officers located a lockbox that contained suspected methamphetamine.  They were also able to locate the handgun.

Roy was transported to the Lincoln County Detention Center and jailed on charges of felony terroristic threats, use of a weapon to commit a felony and felony possession of a controlled substance.
