A 29-year-old woman has been given a prison term. She pleaded guilty and was ordered to serve time in federal prison, followed by supervised release. The sentence is 14 months, with three years of supervision to come after.

The incident that led to this sentence occurred when law enforcement officers were concluding a welfare check. A woman walked into the roadway, wielding a weapon and swinging it.

Further details about the incident and the sentence are available from the U.S. Attorney’s Office, which reported on the case and the court's decision.
