A pack of North Platte residents are in jail on felony charges after a strange series of events at a North Platte apartment complex.

At around 6:40 a.m., on May 31, North Platte Police responded to a disturbance at Elm’s Lodge Apartments, 1211 East 4th Street.

According to Officer Rodney Brown, a 21-year-old female advised officers that 20-year-old Levi Unruh, of Wallace, had pushed her down some stairs.

Brown said the woman was transported to Great Plains Regional Medical Center for treatment of non-life threatening injuries.

Further investigation revealed that the woman had not been pushed down the stairs, but had fallen or jumped “as a result of her own actions.”

However, officers learned that several of the woman’s items, a cell phone and a wallet containing a SSI card and ATM card, had been taken or lost during the incident.

At around 1:45 p.m. that afternoon, officers returned to Elm’s Lodge after learning that some of the victim’s lost items had been found.

Brown said residents of the apartment had turned over the phone and SSI card, but did not have the ATM card.

Following further investigation, officers were able to determine that 33-year-old Maria Burke and 26-year-old Anthony McGilvray had been present when the victim fell, and had taken the phone and wallet from the scene.

Investigators say McGilvray then spoke to Unruh and another suspect, 25-year-old Nathan Beebe, about having access to the PIN number and using the ATM card to withdraw cash from a nearby ATM.

Unruh was then allegedly given the card, at which time police believe he went to the ATM, stole the money and shared it with the others.

In the end, Beebe was charged with felony theft by deception, and Burke was charged with felony tampering with physical evidence and aiding and abetting theft by deception.  McGilvray and Unruh were both charged with felony aiding and abetting theft by deception.

All were jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center, with the exception of Burke who was processed and released.
