A North Platte woman has been charged with a felony after she allegedly assaulted a 13-year-old.

According to North Platte police, officers were dispatched to the 900 block of East 3rd Street on the report of a disturbance at around 11:56 p.m. on Wednesday.

Upon arrival, officers met with a 13-year-old juvenile and several other witnesses.  It was reported that Terry Boles had been at the residence prior to officers arriving.  Witnesses said Boles got into an argument with the juvenile over cleaning up a mess in the home.

At one point, Boles allegedly dragged the juvenile up some stairs by the leg, then hit them multiple times in different areas of the body, including the face.

Investigators say the juvenile had injuries that were consistent with the account given by witnesses.

Boles was contacted at a local motel a short time later and placed under arrest.  She’s been charged with felony cruelty toward a child.

Police say Boles was temporarily staying at the residence, but is not related to the victim.
