On Tuesday, 31-year-old Andre Jones was convicted of attempted second-degree murder, multiple counts of first-degree assault, aggravated motor vehicle theft and resisting arrest, according to court records.

In April 2022, a Wheat Ridge police officer was responding to reports of a stolen U-Haul rental truck that had crashed into a fence when he was attacked by Jones.

Jones stabbed the officer multiple times in the neck, chest and back.

After a six-day trial, the jury deliberated for just under four hours before reaching their verdicts, a spokesperson for the First Judicial District Attorney’s Office said in a statement Tuesday.

Jones will next appear in court for a sentencing hearing on October 10, 2024.
