At approximately 8:13 am on Friday, August 11, Deputies were sent to the 5900 block of E Mentor Rd for the report of a vehicle parked in the roadway. The vehicle, a 2008 Chevy Silverado, was occupied by a 25-year-old male identified as Matthew McBride, from McCook, Nebraska.
On talking to McBride, Deputies noted that Mr. McBride was lethargic and appeared to be under the influence. After McBride was out of the vehicle, Deputies allegedly observed the presence of drugs within the vehicle. Deputies went to place him under arrest, and McBride allegedly snatched a baggie and threw it into the nearby trees. This item was later recovered. A scuffle then reportedly happened, during which Mr. McBride struck a deputy.
The requested charges against McBride include possession of methamphetamine, interference with a law enforcement officer, battery on a law enforcement officer, possession of drug paraphernalia, vehicle registration violation, and improper parking.
