HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A 35-year-old woman who entered a plea to three counts of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon was given 13 months in prison. Nicole Green could have received significantly more time as she was facing charges of attempted murder. Green entered a plea agreement to the lesser charges last month and was sentenced Friday afternoon before Judge Joe McCarville.
Green was arrested for an incident back on Feb. 21 that started with an altercation at Walmart. Green, who had an ongoing feud with the three subjects, followed them down K-61 highway before firing five shots at the vehicle. The chase ended when the victim’s vehicle struck the southwest side of the Midas Muffler and Brake Shop. The defense asked that Green be given the maximum sentence, but that the three counts run concurrent to each other. The state asked for consecutive sentences, but due to sentencing guidelines, the total amount of prison time would have been 26 months. Judge McCarville agreed with the defense and sentenced Green to 13 months on each of the three counts, then ran them concurrent to each other.
Green will also have to pay restitution for the vehicle, which was totaled, and for the groceries that were inside the car at the time of the accident.
