A North Platte man allegedly pulled a knife on a woman Wednesday afternoon in Memorial Park, earning him a trip to jail.

The woman told police that she had arranged to meet her domestic partner Burgess V. Running Enemy, 27, at the park. They had an argument that turned physical.

The woman said Burgess grabbed her by the hair and they scuffled, and then Running Enemy pulled out a folding knife from his pocket and threatened her with it, according to Police Information Officer Rodney Brown.

Running Enemy is in the Lincoln County jail, charged with third-degree domestic assault (2nd offense), terroristic threats and use of a deadly weapon to commit a felony.

In court Thursday, his bond was set at $100,000.


Mounteer

In other court action, Christopher Mounteer, 30, of North Platte, pleaded guilty to amended charges of attempted possession of methamphetamine.

Mounteer was sentenced to 90 days in jail.

Mounteer was stopped for speeding Dec. 22, and a North Platte Police Officer noticed a pipe lying on the console of Mounteer’s car. This was probable cause to search and in Christopher’s front left pocket the officer found a small plastic bag containing a white crystalline substance that tested positive for meth, according to court testimony.

Also, Anna Vanbuskirk, 21, and Brandon Frantz, 24, of Lincoln faced charges of possession of psilocybin, LSD and cocaine.

Both defendants told Lincoln County Judge Kent Turnbull they would hire their own attorneys.

Deputy County Attorney Austin Leighty asked for $20,000 bond for each defendant. Turnbull asked how much of each drug was in their possession, and Leighty said it was less than a gram each.

Turnbull considered that to be only for personal use and because there was no intent to distribute, he set bonds at $10,000 each.

Part of the problem with these things is people need to wise up ! asking someone who has a history of assault to meet you in a place where you know almost no one will be this time of year is not a good idea.( and to still be in a relationship is really dumb) people have got to start asking what if, beware of your surroundings ,take some kind of defensive class just incase(what if) jmo

I too was for allowing carry in the parks, and thanks for pointing out the obvious that it didn't work in this case because no firearm was present.

@Imnotkidding: I supported the repeal of the law banning guns in the parks. However, I do not believe, and this incident has so far proven me correct, that allowing guns in the park would prevent violent crimes from happening in our city parks.

Where were all the big talking heroes who were going to bring their arsenal to the park and protect women and children. C'mon guys put your gun where your mouth is.

Interesting, so many people were so sure that allowing guns into the parks would prevent these types of incidents. I guess they were wrong.

See, it is easy to be critical and cynical from the other side of the issue too. People with bad intentions will do bad things, and no amount of laws OR guns will ever change that.

Maybe the parks department still has those signs stored away. Let's not let them go to waste -- cross out GUNS and paint in KNIVES. Then we'll all be safe again.
