A 36-year-old North Platte woman has been charged with burglary after she allegedly entered a room at a North Platte motel to retrieve property that belonged to a friend.

At around 10:20 a.m., on March 8, officers from the North Platte Police Department responded to the Country Inn, 321 South Dewey Street, on the report of a burglary.

According to Officer Rodney Brown, a 27-year-old female alleged that Nikki Stevens entered the room she and a 29-year-old male were residing in through a window.  Brown said Stevens was reportedly assisting a friend in retrieving property that belonged to her and the male who was residing in the room.  The male was not present during the incident.

A brief verbal and physical altercation ensued between Stevens and the female, according to Brown, at which time Country Inn management confronted Stevens and her friend and demanded they leave.

Stevens and her female friend left the area prior to police arriving, and Brown said no property was taken.

In any case, following further investigation, officers determined that there was probable cause to charge Stevens with burglary, a Class II felony.

Stevens was placed under arrest and processed and released from the Lincoln County Detention Center.

No other charges were reported in the case.
