A pair of North Platte cousins are facing charges after they were allegedly involved in a confrontation with a group of teenagers.

At around 1:57 a.m., on July 5, officers responded to the report of a disturbance in the 900 block of East 14th Street.

Officers arrived and learned that a group of teens had been outside a residence when 32-year-old Amanda Hoven drove by in a “reckless manner.”

Witnesses stated that one of the teens yelled at Hoven to slow down as she drove by.

According to Officer Jeremiah Johnson, Hoven parked her vehicle at her residence, just down the street, and got out.

A short time later, Hoven allegedly returned to the scene with 20-year-old Tyler Andracki, who was armed with what was described as a large stick, to confront the teens about yelling at her.

A verbal argument ensued, and police allege that Hoven hit a 16-year-old male across the face, causing visible injury.  At the same time, investigators allege that Andracki began striking a car that was parked in front of the residence with the stick.

The teens attempted to stop Andracki, according to Johnson, but he threatened to strike them with the stick.

After one of the teens was able to get the stick away from Andracki, police say he produced a knife and stood in an “aggressive fighting stance.”  One of the teens then struck him in the head and shoulder with the stick and he was subdued.

Additionally, investigators found a .177 caliber pellet in Andracki’s arm.  Johnson said it is unknown who shot Andracki, or when it happened.

In the end, Andracki was transported to Great Plains Health for medical treatment before being jailed and charged with felony terroristic threats and use of a weapon to commit a felony.  Hoven was also jailed and charged with felony child abuse, disturbing the peace and criminal mischief.

No charges were filed against the teens.
