Robert Snyder Charged With Attempted Second Degree Murder

A Natrona County man is accused of trying to kill another person in the Dempsey Acres area, south of Mills.

Thirty-two year old Robert Snyder has 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.

Simmons is in stable condition at the hospital and doctors told deputies that he had been stabbed 13 times.

Snyder is being held on $100,000 bond awaiting trial, and could face between 20-years to life in prison, on the attempted second degree murder charge, if convicted.
