A North Platte woman is facing a litany of charges after a disturbance at a North Platte home.
On September 27, at around 11:28 a.m., officers responded to a domestic disturbance in the 3300 block of West 2nd Street.
Officers arrived and made contact with a 37-year-old male. They learned that the other party involved in the disturbance, 27-year-old Johnna Thayer, had left the scene prior to the officers’ arrival.
The male told officers that he and Thayer lived together in the residence, as boyfriend and girlfriend, but were in the process of moving out.
He stated that, on the evening of September 26, he and Thayer became involved in a verbal argument. At one point, Thayer allegedly threw a box of silverware at the victim, striking him in the chest, then threw other unknown objects at him, causing a laceration to the back of his head. According to Investigator John Deal, the victim also told officers that Thayer had also sprayed him in the face with mace. Deal says the investigation revealed that the substance was actually wasp killer.
After the argument, the man told police that he left and slept in his car.
On the morning of September 27, Thayer reportedly began pounding on the hood of the vehicle the victim was sleeping in, then retreated to the residence.
Deal says she then came back outside, carrying a knife, and approached the victim in an aggressive manner.
When the victim retreated to the vehicle, Deal says Thayer slashed two of the vehicle’s tires. Officers found the knife still stuck in one of the tires.
At this point, a neighbor intervened and contacted police.
Later in the day, Thayer was contacted and placed under arrest.
She was jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center on charges of felony terroristic threats, use of a weapon to commit a felony, domestic assault, and criminal mischief. She was also charged with theft after the victim reported that his wallet and cell phone were missing.
