A 40-year-old man, who recently moved to North Platte from Denver, is being held on charges that he assaulted his girlfriend and held her captive for several days.

At around 4:45 a.m., on March 1, officers with the North Platte Police Department responded to the report of a woman being held against her will at a residence in the 2200 block of West 2nd Street.

The 28-year-old female alleged that her boyfriend, Louis Olona, had become angry following an argument, on February 25, and began punching and kicking her.

He then allegedly held her captive in a bedroom at the residence.

According to the victim, Olona physically and sexually assaulted her, while he was holding her against her will.

Upon arrival, police discovered that Olona was passed out inside the residence, and they were able to help the female escape through the back door.

Officers then made contact with Olona and placed him under arrest.

Following his arrest, officers learned that the female had an active protection order against Olona, issued by a Colorado court.

In the end, Olona was charged with felony 3rd degree domestic assault, felony strangulation, felony 1st degree false imprisonment and 2nd offense violation of a protection order.

According to Officer Rodney Brown, the female had injuries that corroborated her account of what happened.

Brown said other allegations made by the victim are still being investigated.

Olona was jailed at the Lincoln County Detention Center.
