William Waldroup Sentenced For Aggravated Assault

A Natrona County man has been sentenced for admitting he stabbed another man, that he was in a limousine with.

Sixty-four year old William Waldroup was sentenced to two-and-one-half to four-and-one-half years in prison, after he pleaded guilty to one count of aggravated assault.

Mills police say in middle-March, officers were called to the Beacon Club, for a report of an assault with a knife.

One witness told investigators that earlier in the evening, a group of seven people, including the witness and the victim, got into a limo to go to the Beacon Club.

Waldroup was already in the vehicle at the time and appeared to be intoxicated and angry.

When everyone tried to exit the limo at the club, the witness said Waldroup attacked the victim from behind.

The victim sustained a non-life threatening cut to his neck.

Police later found Waldroup with blood on him, as well as a bloody knife.

A motive for the attack was never determined, and witnesses indicated it was unprovoked.
