A North Platte woman was jailed Tuesday night after she allegedly kicked to North Platte police officers following a disturbance.
At around 9:21 p.m., officers responded to a disturbance in the 100 block of South Willow.
Upon arrival, an officer witnessed Kim Heinis lunging at a male, while another person attempted to hold her back.
The officer was able to separate the group and determined that the argument had been strictly verbal, and no crimes had been committed.
Heinis indicated that she wanted to walk to a location down the street. The officer agreed, however, Heinis refused to leave and continued to argue with the male subject.
Heinis was advised by a second officer, that had arrived on the scene, that she would be arrested if she didn’t leave. But it fell on deaf ears, and Heinis continued to cause a scene. She told the officer she was concerned about a vehicle being towed, despite reassurance from the officer that it was legally parked and would not be towed.
According to Investigator John Deal, Heinis continued yelling and refused to listen to reason.
As the officers attempted to place Heinis under arrest for disturbing the peace, she allegedly kicked one of the officers in the leg, causing a minor injury.
Eventually, Heinis was placed in handcuffs.
As the officers placed her in the cruiser, Deal said Heinis kicked another officer in the leg.
In the end, Heinis was jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center on charges of disturbing the peace, resisting arrest and aggravated assault on a police officer.
Deal said officers believe Heinis was intoxicated at the time of the incident.
