Two North Platte men are facing misdemeanor charges after participating in a drinking game led to an encounter with police.

At around 1:00 a.m., on September 26, officers with the North Platte Police Department responded to a report of suspicious activity at a residence in the 600 block of East 10th Street.

Upon arrival, officers noted a light on in the garage of the residence, and observed 21-year-old Sean Vieyra exit the garage.

An officer also observed what he believed were several others in the garage playing Beer Pong.

As officers spoke to Vieyra, a second subject, 20-year-old Anthony Macias, exited the garage and joined the conversation.

Officers detected the odor of alcohol on Macias, who claimed he lived at the residence.

However, after further investigation, officers determined that Macias did not reside there, and they attempted to take him into custody.

NPPD Public Information Officer, Rodney Brown, said Macias refused to comply with officers and attempted to pull away from them.

Eventually, Macias was handcuffed and taken to jail.

Macias was charged with minor in possession and resisting arrest.

Vieyra was also arrested and charged with procuring alcohol for a minor and false reporting for telling officers that Macias was a resident of the home.

Both were transported to the Lincoln County Detention Center.
