NORTH PLATTE, Neb.-A North Platte man was arrested on numerous felony allegations following a disturbance on Sunday.

Police said at around 11:23 p.m., officers responded to the area of West Anna Ave. and Buffalo Bill Ave. on the report of a suspicious vehicle.

Additionally, police said it was reported that a disturbance had occurred earlier in the same area and a subject had been threatened with a gun.

As officers responded, they reported hearing several gunshots in the area.

A short time later, police said officers made contact with a vehicle occupied by Shaun Ramey, 33, and an unidentified male subject.

Police said officers also made contact with the alleged victim, who reported they had been at a residence with Ramey and the other male when an argument ensued.
