A 21-year-old North Platte man is facing charges after he allegedly assaulted his girlfriend on Saturday.

At around 3:07 p.m., on August 2, officers with the North Platte Police Department met with a female subject who reported being assaulted by her boyfriend, Ethan Claudson.

The victim alleged that she was involved in an argument with Claudson at his home.  She stated that the argument escalated and, at one point, Claudson slapped and choked her.

Officers later contacted Claudson and, following further investigation, placed him under arrest for 3rd degree domestic assault and felony strangulation.

He was jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center.
