A 20-year-old Sutherland man is facing serious charges after he and his father allegedly assaulted a man.

According to Public Information Officer Rodney Brown with the North Platte Police Department, Officers responded to the 300 block of East 8th on August 15th at around 9:30 p.m., after they received a report of a bleeding male subject running into a residence in the area.

Officers arrived to find a 20-year-old male who had been the victim of an assault at his house in the 800 block of North Bailey.

The victim alleged that Levi Bohman and his father, 59-year-old Curt Bohman, both of Sutherland, had come to his residence and attacked him.  He reported that, initially, Curt confronted him in the doorway at which time Levi struck him in the face.  The attack then continued inside the home where Levi continued to punch, kick, hit and choke the victim.

Police say both Curt and Levi held the victim and prevented him from leaving.

Eventually, the victim was able to escape and run next door and into a neighbor’s residence.  The owner of the residence was able to secure the front door and prevent a pursuing Levi from entering.

The Bohman’s left the scene prior to law enforcement’s arrival, and the victim was transported to Great Plains Regional Medical Center where he received treatment for minor injuries to his arms, chest, head and back.

An Investigator met with Levi on August 19th regarding the incident.  Following further investigation, Police found probable cause to arrest Levi and charge him with 1st Degree False Imprisonment, Strangulation, two counts of 3rd Degree Assault, 2nd Degree Criminal Trespassing, Disturbing the Peace and two counts of Child Abuse due to the fear experienced by the children who lived in the residence.

Authorities say the investigation is ongoing into the role the elder Bohman played in the assault.

Levi was jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center where he is being held without bond.
