On Saturday, October 27th, Rick Smallfoot was arrested on charges of Strangulation and 3rd Degree Domestic Assault after an alleged argument turned physical.
Officers from the North Platte Police Department responded to a report of a domestic disturbance at around 2:50pm, on the 1500 block of West 1st, where the 48-year-old Smallfoot is accused of grabbing his alleged domestic partner around the neck then throwing her into a chair.
The 43-year-old victim told officers that they were arguing before the alleged assault happened.

On the following morning of Sunday, October the 28th at around 3:50 AM, officers responded to another report of a domestic disturbance at the 1900 block of West 1st, a few blocks away from the alleged Smallfoot incident.
The 31-year-old victim told authorities that his domestic partner assaulted him after a verbal argument turned physical.

Herrick was arrested at a location other than where the incident allegedly occurred and was booked into the detention center. Herrick is charged with 3rd Degree Domestic Assault.
On Sunday evening, at around 7:30PM, officers served a Lincoln County warrant to Thomas Brownell which was issued because he allegedly failed to appear for a secluded court date. Brownell was charged with 3rd Degree Assault and Disturbing the Peace at an earlier time.
A couple of hours later, at around 9:50PM on Sunday evening, a domestic disturbance was reported at the 500 block of East G. Street.

The victim told investigators that the suspect caused her pain and difficulty breathing.
After investigation, Triplett was arrested for Strangulation, 3rd Degree Domestic Assault and Child Neglect and was jailed at the LCDC.
