Nicole Martinez
(KNZA)--A Mayetta woman accused of stabbing a Holton man last November has been acquitted on a charge of attempted second-degree murder.
The Holton Recorder reports Jackson County District Judge Norbert Marek last week issued an order finding 32-year-old Nicole Martinez not guilty on the attempted murder charge or an alternate charge of aggravated battery.
That came after Marek agreed to take Martinez’ claims of self-defense under advisement following an August 13th bench trial.
Martinez was accused of stabbing Cruz Ruiz multiple times early November 26 of last year at an apartment at Holton’s Red Roof Inn.
Ruiz was treated at the Holton Community Hospital for his non-fatal wounds.
Martinez was arrested in February following a joint investigation by the Jackson County Sheriff’s Department and Holton Police Department.
