A woman initially accused of aggravated assault on Emporia Police officers last month has accepted a plea agreement in her case.
Dora Diaz was arrested after an alleged incident where she used a knife against Officer Sinjin Andrews and threatened Officer JW Fournier on March 11. Diaz was originally charged with aggravated assault, battery and interference, all against law enforcement. The plea accepted Tuesday reduced the main count to attempted aggravated assault while keeping the battery count and dropping the interference count.
Sentencing is July 6. Diaz could face maximums of up to 23 months in prison and a fine of up to $100,000 for the attempted aggravated assault count, as well as 12 months imprisonment and a $2,500 fine for the battery count.
