A 32-year-old North Platte woman is in jail after police arrested her on charges stemming from an incident earlier this month.

On October 10, North Platte police responded to the report of an assault that had occurred earlier in the 1500 block of East 12th Street.

Officers met with a female victim who advised that she had been involved in a verbal disturbance with her boyfriend, 28-year-old Michael Charging Elk.

The victim reported that Charging Elk forced her into his car and drove to the East 12th Street location.

Officer Beth Kerr says Jerrita Kindle was at that location and she joined in the argument between the victim and Charging Elk.

The argument escalated and became physical and Kindle began assaulting the victim.

According to Kerr, the victim stated that Charging Elk held her down while Kindle continued to assault her. Kindle then allegedly tied the victim to a chair and held a gun to her head, continuing to yell and threaten the victim.

Kerr says the victim was eventually released and left the area.

Charging Elk was arrested a short time later and jailed on charges of 3rd-degree domestic assault and kidnapping. However, officers were unable to locate Kindle until they received an anonymous on October 20, stating that Kindle was at a residence in the 1300 block of West 9th Street.

Officers responded to that location and placed Kindle under arrest.

She was jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center and charged with false imprisonment, terroristic threats, aiding and abetting domestic assault and use of a weapon to commit a felony.

Kindle was also wanted on a drug distribution warrant, but police deferred comment on that charge to the County Attorney’s Office.

Police did not comment on injuries sustained by the victim.
