A 21-year-old North Platte woman is facing a felony drug charge following a disturbance on Tuesday evening.
At around 8:20 p.m., on January 20, the North Platte 911 Communications Center received a call regarding a disturbance between a male and female in a red and gray Dodge Dakota, near the 1400 block of East 5th Street.
Officers investigated, and made contact with a 21-year-old male, who alleged that his girlfriend, Sabrena Flores, had struck him in the face multiple times following an argument.
According to Officer Rodney Brown, officers determined that there was probable cause to arrest Flores, and charge her with 3rd degree domestic assault.
Brown said a search of Flores’ person, subsequent to her arrest, revealed a small silver container.
Inside the container, officers found the prescription drug Alprazolam, a Scheduler IV drug for which Flores did not have a prescription.
As a result, Flores was also charged with felony possession of a controlled substance and jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center.
