A North Platte man is facing charges following a reported drug overdose.

At around 4:28 p.m., on May 4, North Platte police and paramedics responded to the 900 block of West 4th Street, on the report of a male who had possibly overdosed on drugs.

Officers arrived and met with several witnesses and Joshua Salisbury.

According to police, Salisbury was sweating profusely and appeared to be under the influence of drugs, but refused to go to the hospital.

As officers spoke to witnesses, they learned that Salisbury was suicidal and threatened to shoot himself.

Again, officers attempted to convince Salisbury to go to the hospital but he refused.

At that point, officers determined that Salisbury was a threat to himself and placed him in emergency protective custody.

As officers attempted to take Salisbury into custody, he pulled away and attempted to punch them several times.

Salisbury was eventually taken into custody and transported to Great Plains Health.

On May 5, Salisbury was released from the hospital and placed under arrest.

He was transported to the Lincoln County Detention Center and jailed on charges of felony attempted assault on an officer and resisting arrest. He was also out on bond at the time and, as a result, was also arrested on a bond revocation warrant for violating the conditions of his bond.
