A North Platte man is facing a felony domestic assault charge after he allegedly beat up his girlfriend.

At around 3:30 p.m., on July 23, officers with the North Platte Police Department responded to the report of domestic violence at a residence in the 2300 block of East Philip.

A 26-year-old female alleged that her boyfriend, 29-year-old Chad Williams, became angry following an argument in their vehicle.

According to Officer Rodney Brown, the woman told police that Williams hit her while they were in the vehicle, then continued to assault her in front of the residence by hitting her, grabbing her by the hair, pinning her down on the ground and kicking her.

Officers investigated and determined that there was probable cause to arrest Williams for 3rd degree domestic assault.  Due to prior domestic assault convictions, the charge was enhanced to a felony.

Williams was jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center.
