A 22-year-old North Platte man has been charged with a felony after a dispute in the parking lot of a local fast food restaurant.

A November 29, at around 12:05 p.m., an officer with the North Platte Police Department received a complaint from a 22-year-old male, who alleged that Colby Dewey had assaulted him and a 25-year-old female.

The victim claimed that they had been in the parking lot of Taco Johns, 1216 East 4th Street, when they were approached by Dewey.

According to Officer Rodney Brown, the victim stated that Dewey attacked him, but the victim was able to fend him off.

At some point, Brown said both the victim and Dewey drew knives, but police do not believe the knives were used in the assault.

Brown said a 25-year-old female then exited the restaurant and approached Dewey as he was seated in his vehicle.

Dewey allegedly forcefully pushed the door open, causing injury and pain to the female’s arm.

Officers located Dewey later that night, after he admitted himself to the Behavioral Health Unit at Great Plains Health, but did not place him under arrest.

On December 8, officers located Dewey at a residence in the 400 block of North Ash.

Dewey was arrested and transported to the Lincoln County Detention Center, and jailed on charges of felony 2nd degree assault and 3rd degree mutual assault.
