Bluffs Woman Gets 4-6 Years For Knife Attack
August 27th, 2024 | Ryan Murphy

Earlier this summer, a Scotts Bluff County District Court jury found a Scottsbluff woman guilty on charges stemming from a February knife attack. Last week, 43-year-old Josefina Gonzales learned her fate.

On Friday, District Judge Leo Dobrovony sentenced Gonzales to 2 to 3 years in prison for 2nd Degree Domestic Assault with a Dangerous Instrument, 2 to 3 years in prison for Use of a Deadly Weapon to Commit a Felony, plus $5,000 in restitution.

She was arrested this past winter after officers made contact with the victim at Regional West, who said Gonzales had cut him with a knife, resulting in 13 stitches.

Gonzales was ordered to serve the sentences consecutive to each other, but did receive 134 days credit for time already served.
