A North Platte woman, accused of threatening her husband with a knife, has been sentenced to time served.

40-year-old Victoria Winder was sentenced in Lincoln County District Court on Monday.

North Platte Police responded to the report of a disturbance in the 1500 block of West 4th Street, on September 16, 2013.

Officers made contact with a 43-year-old male standing outside the residence.  The victim told police that he had been sleeping when he awoke to Winder holding a knife.

Prosecutors say Winder threatened the victim and told him he should “be afraid.”

After reaching a deal with prosecutors, Winder pleaded no contest to attempted terroristic threats and 3rd degree assault, both misdemeanors.  In exchange, the state dropped a felony charge and reduced another.

Winder was originally charged with use of a weapon to commit a felony and felony terroristic threats.

When asked by Judge Richard Birch if she had anything to say prior to sentencing, Winder replied, “I want the public to know that I am not a violent person.”

“I believe in this community,” Winder added.

Judge Birch then sentenced Winder, who has been incarcerated since September, to 364 days in jail.  She was given credit for 231 days already served.
