A North Platte man’s alleged drunken behavior landed him in jail with a felony charge.

At around 8:20 p.m., on June 22, North Platte Police responded to Kwik Stop, 1421 South Dewey, on the report of two male subjects creating a disturbance in the store.

When officers arrived, they made contact with 23-year-old Glenn Brown, who was leaving the store.

Brown told officers that he had been in the store with a friend and felt that the store employee was being “racist.”

Officers then spoke to Brown’s 24-year-old male friend, who stated that the employee had refused to sell him tobacco because he did not have the proper identification, but said he wasn’t bothered by it.

Police then say Brown, who was intoxicated, became belligerent and refused to comply with officers’ orders.

As Brown was being taken into custody for disturbing the peace, police say he continued to struggle, resisting officers’ attempt to place him in a patrol car.  They say Brown began kicking and banging his head against the door, leading to a laceration that required medical attention.

After receiving treatment at the Great Plains Health Emergency Room, Brown was transported to the Lincoln County Detention Center.

In addition to disturbing the peace, Brown was also charged with 2nd offense resisting arrest, a felony.
