NP man accused of holding knife to woman’s face

James Mosbarger

A 28-year-old North Platte man is facing criminal charges after a domestic disturbance early Wednesday morning.

At around 3:10 a.m., on May 1, officers responded to a disturbance in the 300 block of West Ninth Street.

Officers met with James Mosbarger and a female.

The female alleged that she and Mosbarger had become involved in an argument and, at one point during the argument, Mosbarger held a knife to her face, causing minor injuries.

She told officers that Mosbarger eventually put the knife down and they became engaged in a physical altercation. She said that during the scuffle, furniture was broken and she sustained further injuries. He then allegedly held her against her will and prevented her from leaving until police arrived.

Following an investigation, officers determined that there was probable cause to arrest Mosbarger and charge him with 2nd-degree domestic assault, use of a weapon to commit a felony, 1st-degree false imprisonment and terroristic threats.

Mosbarger was jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center. Police did not say if the victim’s injuries required medical treatment.
