A North Platte man is facing a felony firearms charge after allegedly making delusional claims to police.

Just after midnight on March 5, officers with the North Platte Police Department responded to a residence in the 900 block of West 11th Street.

According to Officer Rodney Brown, this was the fourth time in three days that officers had responded to the residence.

Brown said the resident, 36-year-old Joshua Crewdson, reported that there were children inside and outside of his residence, and there was also a group of bikers that were threatening him.

Responding officers found no one on the property during this call or the previous calls.

While inside the home, officers observed a loaded Winchester model 70-7 mm rifle.

Brown said Crewdson is a convicted felon and is prohibited from possessing firearms.

As a result, Crewdson was placed under arrest and charged with being a felony in possession of a firearm.

Brown said it is not believed that Crewdson was under the influence of alcohol or illicit drugs.
