A domestic disturbance landed a North Platte man behind bars.

At around 11:45 PM on May 1st, Officers with the North Platte Police Department responded to the Motel 6 at 1520 South Jeffers, on the report of a domestic disturbance.  Staff on duty at the motel reported that Zachariah Tinajera, 22, and his 23-year-old domestic partner were causing a disturbance in their room.

Upon arrival, Officers found their motel room in disarray with damage to the walls.

Following an investigation, Officers learned that Tinajera and the female had argued and it turned physical when he attacked the victim by choking her and banging her head on the floor.

As a result, Tinajera was arrested and transported to the Lincoln County Detention Center.  He was charged with Strangulation, a Class IV Felony, Disturbing the Peace and Criminal Mischief.

While Officers were attempting to incarcerate Tinajera, he became non-compliant and would not follow the Officer’s orders, answer questions by the jail staff and continued to argue and be belligerent.  Because of this, he picked up an additional charge of Obstructing a Police Officer
