ROCK SPRINGS Alexander Vincent Ray Cave, 28, of Rock Springs, received five years of supervised probation today in Third District Court for his involvement in a stabbing incident back in January 2020.
Cave was originally charged with attempted second-degree murder in the stabbing of Rafael Magana, but later pleaded no contest in exchange for a reduced charge of aggravated assault and battery last year.
The maximum sentence for aggravated assault is 10 years in prison, a $10,000 fine, or both. Sweetwater County Attorney Dan Erramouspe sought financial restitution in the amount of just under $75,000 in the case, which Judge Suzannah Robinson granted. He was originally sentenced to 6-10 years in the state penitentiary, but that sentence was reduced to probation and the restitution amount.
