A North Platte man is in jail on multiple felony charges after he allegedly roughed up his girlfriend and one of her children.
According to Officer Rodney Brown, North Platte police responded to the report of a fight in progress at an apartment in the 1100 block of South Tabor at around 9:15 pm. on Wednesday.
Brown said officers had been to the same residence earlier in the evening due to a noise complaint, but left after resolving the issue.
Upon arrival, a 40-year-old female told officers that her boyfriend, Johnny Castro, had been abusive to her and her three children, ages 10, 12 and 15.
The victim alleged that Castro had pulled her hair, pulled her to the ground and struck the 12-year-old in the face.
As a result, the victim notified her relatives, 26-year-old Kenneth Delso and 21-year-old Edward Delso. Brown said the Delsos went to the apartment and confronted Castro, where the three men became engaged in a mutual fight.
Following the fight, Castro allegedly grabbed a large knife, brandished it at the Delsos and threatened to kill them.
After further investigation, officers determined there was probable cause to arrest Castro for felony terroristic threats, use of a weapon to commit a felony, felony child abuse, cruelty toward a child, disturbing the peace and 3rd degree mutual assault.
Castro was jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center after being medically cleared by staff at the GPRMC ER.
The Delsos were both cited for 3rd degree mutual assault.
