A North Platte man is facing multiple felony charges after he allegedly threatened his girlfriend and others with a shotgun.

At around 10:30 p.m., on May 31, officers with the North Platte Police Department responded to a physical disturbance in the 800 block of East 10th Street.

Upon arrival, a 19-year-old female told officers that her boyfriend, 20-year-old Rusty Foster, had come to the residence, where she was visiting friends, and demanded that he speak to the her.

According to Officer Rodney Brown, Foster was reportedly standing outside the residence with a shotgun and cocked it, insinuating that he was loading it.

Brown said the victim and other occupants became fearful and hid towards the rear of the residence.

Moments later, Foster allegedly placed the shotgun in his vehicle and entered the residence with the victim’s 44-year-old father.  The victim claims she was then forced to leave with Foster and return to their residence in the 2300 block of West 16th Street.

The victim alleged that, once inside their residence, Foster became physical and threw her across the room.  She told officers that this caused her pain.

She said Foster attempted to prevent her from leaving the residence, but she was able to eventually leave through the back door and escape to a neighbor’s house.

At around 1:15 a.m., on June 1, officers located a silver Nissan, driven by Foster, in the 900 block of Rodeo Road.  Brown said an investigative traffic stop was conducted.

Officers made contact with Foster and located the unloaded shotgun in the trunk of the vehicle.  They also located ammunition for the shotgun both inside the vehicle and in the trunk.

Following further investigation, officers placed Foster under arrest.  He’s been charged with felony terroristic threats, use of a weapon to commit a felony and 3rd degree domestic assault.

Foster was jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center.
