Officer Kachina McAlexander Arrested for Attempted Murder

PIERRE, S.D.

South Dakota officials say a Denver police officer has been arrested on three counts of attempted murder after she fired a gun in the direction of 3 law officers who were checking on her at a motel near Custer.

Attorney General Larry Long's office says 31-year-old Kachina McAlexander was arrested Tuesday.

Two Custer County deputies and a Highway Patrol officer had gone to the motel to check on McAlexander. The attorney general's office said the officers found the woman with a gun in her hand, and she fired the gun several times in the direction of the officers.

The officers were not hurt.

Denver police Det. Sharon Avendano told The Denver Post she could not comment on McAlexander's arrest because another jurisdiction was in charge.
