A Longmont woman was found guilty on Thursday of carrying a concealed weapon after allegedly attempting to stab a police officer in December. The jury deadlocked on three other charges, so a three-day retrial will be scheduled for the week of May 19.
Longmont police responded to a theft at Walmart in the afternoon on Dec. 19, confronting Robin Niver, 54, on Main Street. When stopped, she allegedly stabbed an officer’s vest with a butcher knife. The officer pinned her down until backup arrived. During the struggle, the officer sustained a cut while disarming her.
The Boulder County jury found Niver guilty of carrying a concealed weapon last week, but was “unable to return unanimous verdicts on three other counts; two counts of first-degree assault and one of obstruction of a peace officer,” according to the Longmont Times-Call.
The Longmont Times-Call reported that Niver is in custody on a $25,000 bond.
