A North Platte man is facing a felony firearm charge after he was found snoozing in his vehicle after exhibiting some strange behavior.

According to Investigator John Deal, an officer responded to a residence in the 1100 block of Sherman Court after receiving a report of a suspicious male subject.

A citizen reported that the male had been entering and exiting the home all day and would sit in a vehicle parked in the driveway for long periods of time.  It was also reported that he may have driven the vehicle into the garage door of the residence.

The officer arrived and observed the vehicle parked in the driveway with its dome light on, apparently unoccupied.

As the officer approached the vehicle, he noticed a male subject, later identified as Aaron Tuenge, sleeping in the vehicle.  Deal said Tuenge had apparently passed out because he had food all over him.  The officer also observed a handgun in the driver’s side door pocket of the car.

The officer was able to rouse Tuenge and secure the firearm.

A records check indicated that Tuenge was a convicted felon.  Therefore, he was placed and arrest and jailed on a charge of being a felon in possession of a firearm.

Tuenge was transported to the Lincoln County Detention Center.
