A Omaha, Nebraska man has been charged with attempted murder after allegedly assaulting another person at a residence in Le Mars late last month. 33-year-old Zakery Strong of Omaha was taken into custody and was charged earlier this week with one count of attempted murder, a class B felony.
The charge comes after an incident that occurred on Wednesday, April 29th, when officers from the Le Mars Police Department were called to the emergency room at Floyd Valley Healthcare. Officers met and spoke to a witness and the victim of an assault that took place at a residence on 2nd Avenue SW in Le Mars. According to court documents, the victim had blood on his nose, inside of his mouth, and a torn left earlobe, as well as visible marks on his neck “where the victim stated Strong was ‘choking’ him out.”
The victim also alleged he was blacking out and losing consciousness, that Strong threatened to kill him, and that he and the witness felt Strong “was in such a rage that they felt the victim was going to die from the actions of Strong.”
Strong was taken to the Plymouth County Jail, with a preliminary hearing scheduled to take place next Thursday, May 21st at 8:45am.
