A 911 hang-up call ended with a North Platte man facing criminal charges.

At around 9:26 a.m., on September 22, officers responded to a residence in the 800 block of South Griffith Avenue after the North Platte 911 Center received a hang-up call.

According to Investigator John Deal, the officers arrived and made contact with a 30-year-old female and her husband, 33-year-old Kerec Gilmore.

Deal says, early in the investigation, Gilmore indicated to officers that the 911 call was an accident and that he wanted to leave.  He was allowed to do so because no probable cause existed to arrest or detain him at that time.  The female, however, wanted to speak to the officers about what happened.

An interview was conducted, and the victim indicated that she had been in the bathroom getting ready for work when she and Gilmore got into an argument.

Police say the victim stated that she was sitting down at the time of the argument.  At one point, Gilmore allegedly sexually assaulted her and head-butted her in the forehead.

Investigator Deal says as the officers were interviewing her, swelling began to appear on her forehead.

After the interview, officers determined that there was probable cause to arrest Gilmore.

He was contacted at a residence in the 2000 block of West 17th street and arrested on charges of felony domestic assault and felony first-degree sexual assault.

Jail records indicate that Gilmore is being held without bond.
