A North Platte man is facing a felony charge after a driving under revocation charge quickly turned into a violent outburst.

At around 8:20 p.m., on November 21, officers from the North Platte Police Department responded to a residence in the 1200 block of West 10th Street, on the report of stolen property.

Upon their arrival, officers observed 35-year-old Christopher Youngs arrive at the location and exit a Toyota pickup.

One of the officers had knowledge that Youngs’ license was suspended.

As officers spoke to Youngs, he began to have difficulty breathing, so an ambulance was summoned.

Youngs was transported to Great Plains Health and, following treatment, officers attempted to place him under arrest for driving under revocation.

According to officer Rodney Brown, Youngs began to strike his head on the roof of the patrol vehicle, lacerating his left eye and causing damage to the vehicle.

Youngs was charged with felony resisting arrest and criminal mischief.

He was jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center.
