A North Platte man has been charged with multiple felonies following a disturbance last Friday.

At around 4:31 p.m., on September 25, officers with the North Platte Police Department responded to the report of an assault in the 200 block of South Chestnut Street.

Officers arrived and found that the victim and the suspect were both still present.

The victim told police that Johnathon Hernandez had repeatedly hit her in the head and placed her in a “chokehold.”

According to Officer Rodney Brown, officers attempted to get Hernadez’ side of the story, but he was extremely angry and uncooperative.

Hernandez eventually approached officers in an aggressive manner, according to Brown, and they attempted to take him into custody.

Brown said as officers attempted to detain Hernandez, he continued to attempt to kick them.  He said the officers only avoided injury because they were able to dodge the blows by Hernandez.

Once in handcuffs, Hernandez allegedly continued to struggle and remained aggressive until they were able to load him into a patrol car.

Hernandez was transported to the Lincoln County Detention Center and jailed on charges of felony strangulation, felony attempted assault on a police officer, resisting arrest and third-degree assault.
