A North Platte man wanted for felony forgery is now facing more charges after he ran from police.

According to Investigator John Deal, officers with the NPPD were attempting to contact Clarence Alspaugh, who was wanted for 2nd degree forgery.

An officer observed Alspaugh walking in the 300 block North Maple.  When the officer attempted to make contact with him, Alspaugh took off running.

A short time later, he was found hiding under a car.

He was taken into custody, but continued to resist and threaten bodily harm to arresting officers.  Eventually, Alspaugh was transported to the Lincoln County Detention Center and jailed.

He’s been charged with resisting arrest, obstruction, felony forgery and disturbing the peace.

Deal said the forgery charge stems from a January 2014 case where two stolen checks were cashed by Alspaugh at two local businesses.  The disturbing the peace charge stems from a March case where Alspaugh allegedly threatened a female.
