A North Platte woman is facing an assault charge after a disturbance Thursday night that ended with her jumping onto a moving vehicle.

According to Investigator John Deal, officers responded to a disturbance in the 100 block of West William Avenue at around 10:13 p.m.

Upon arrival, officers made contact with 20-year-old Jasmine Erausquin, who was in the roadway.

Erausquin told officers that she had jumped onto the hood of her boyfriend’s car in an attempt to keep him from leaving after an argument.  She reported that her wrist was sore, but refused medical attention.

Officers then spoke to witnesses who confirmed that Erausquin had jumped onto the hood of the vehicle.  They stated that the vehicle stopped, and she got off.  However, when the vehicle started to move again, witnesses say Erausquin chased after it and attempted to grab onto the side, but, she fell, and the vehicle left the scene.

Deal said Erausquin’s boyfriend contacted police and stated that he had attempted to leave the residence following an argument, but Erausquin attacked him by scratching his face and biting his arm.

He corroborated the witnesses account of Erausquin jumping onto and chasing the vehicle.

The victim also had injuries consistent with his report to officers.

There was no evidence that Erausquin was struck or dragged by the vehicle, Deal said, but the windshield of the vehicle was broken.  Officers believe this was caused by Erausquin punching it due to injuries she sustained in the ordeal.

Erausquin received medical treatment at Great Plains Health and, upon her release, was transported to the Lincoln County Detention Center.

She’s been charged with 3rd-degree domestic assault.
