On August 11th around 2:30 in the morning officers received a call about a prior assault and protection order violation. The33-year-old female victim told officers that her domestic partner 23-year-old Blake Suhr appeared at her home and wanted to talk.
The victim said they began to argue then things escalated to Suhr reportedly choking and striking her.
After investigation officers had probable cause to arrest Suhr for violation of a protection order and 3rd Degree Assault – (Domestic). The only problem was that Suhr was no-where to be found.
On Friday September 7th Officers responded to a call that Suhr was at the Lincoln County Courthouse at around 8:50AM. Suhr was told by an unknown person to sit in the courtroom.

Suhr was placed under arrest and taken to the Lincoln County Detention Center and jailed for 3rd. Degree Assault Domestic-Strangulation (IV Felony), Violation of a Protection Order and 3rd. Degree Sexual Assault.
