A North Platte man has been charged with a felony after he allegedly assaulted his girlfriend Monday night.

At around 10:40 p.m., on July 28, officers with the North Platte Police Department responded to a domestic disturbance at the Blue Spruce Motel, 821 South Dewey.

Officers located a 37 year old female and her boyfriend, 34-year-old Nathan Edmund, a short distance away from the motel.

The female told officers that, following an argument, Edmund grabbed her face with his hands which prevented her from breathing.

According to Officer Rodney Brown, a neighbor intervened, and the victim was able to escape the room.

Brown said the victim also sustained injuries to her face as a result of the assault.

Following further investigation, officers determined there was probable cause to place Edmund under arrest and charge him with felony strangulation and 3rd degree domestic assault.

Edmund was transported to the Lincoln County Detention Center and jailed.
