A 51-year-old North Platte man is facing charges after he allegedly assaulted his wife and shot up his vehicle with a firearm.

At around 5:00 p.m., on November 3, deputies with the Lincoln County Sheriff’s Office responded to a verbal disturbance and accident on North Lake Road, near the east entrance to The Wall at Lake Maloney.

Deputies arrived and found a van in the ditch that was riddled with bullet holes.

After discovering that the vehicle was unoccupied, deputies responded to the residence of the registered owner, David Roe, which was nearby.

Upon arrival, deputies were confronted by Roe, who they say appeared to be intoxicated and locked in the house.  Additionally, they observed a female in the residence that was crying and screaming.

When Roe refused to let deputies in to check on the female’s well-being, deputies forced their way into the residence.

Chief Deputy Roland Kramer said Roe was then taken into custody and charged with obstructing the police, resisting arrest, driving under the influence of alcohol, illegal discharge of a firearm and 3rd degree domestic assault.

Kramer said Roe complained of injuries from running his car into the ditch and was transported to Great Plains Health for treatment.  He was jailed after a two-night stay in the hospital.
