A 33-year-old will spend more than three decades in prison for a 2023 assault on two Greeley police officers.
Joshua Minteer received a 35-year sentence in the Colorado Department of Corrections from Weld County District Court Judge Timothy Kerns on Wednesday, according to a news release from the Weld District Attorney’s Office. Last month, a jury convicted Minteer of attempted second-degree murder of a peace officer, as well as second-degree assault of a peace officer, third-degree assault, harassment and resisting arrest.
In January 2023, police responded to reports of Cold Weather Shelter staff and others being assaulted outside the shelter at 870 28th St. Minteer attacked a security guard who had asked Minteer to leave after he became irate when he was asked to move his food off a vehicle belonging to a shelter employee, the guard later told police.
When Minteer heard the police had been called, he threatened to kill responding officers, according to arrest records.
When police arrived, Minteer tried running off. He attacked an officer with a metal file, striking him in the chest, but the officer’s ballistic vest prevented serious injury.
Minteer continued to fight officers as they tackled him to the ground, kicking another officer in the face before his arrest.
“These two officers were simply doing their job that night,” Deputy District Attorney Mikaela Fatzinger was quoted in the release. “This defendant’s violent actions could have easily resulted in the death of a police officer. We are thankful for the courage and professionalism of these officers and for the jury’s decision to hold this defendant accountable.”
Fatzinger prosecuted the case with Deputy District Attorney Lacy Wells.
