Robert Snyder Waives Preliminary Hearing In Attempted Second Degree Murder Case

The case involving a Natrona County man accused of trying to kill another person in the Dempsey Acres area, south of Mills, is moving forward in court.

Thirty-two year old Robert Snyder has waived his preliminary hearing, in a case where he's been charged with one count of attempted second degree murder and one count of stalking.

Just before 4pm on Sunday, March 8th, Natrona County Sheriff's Deputies made contact with the victim, 28-year old Kevin Simmons, who was being taken by vehicle to the hospital, and was then transferred to an ambulance.

The incident occurred on the 4500 block of Countryside Court.

Investigators say Snyder was there to make contact with another person, who had a restraining order against him.

Snyder was asked to leave, but then he pulled out a knife and stabbed Simmons, before fleeing the area.

Snyder turned himself in and admitted to the stabbing incident.

Doctors told deputies that Simmons had been stabbed 13 times.

Snyder's bond is at $100,000.

He is awaiting trail and could face between 20-years to life in prison, on the attempted second degree murder charge, if convicted.
