A 32-year-old man was sentenced to 35 years in prison Thursday for the attempted murder of a Wheat Ridge police officer and the later assault of a Jefferson County sheriff’s deputy. Jefferson County Court Judge Andrew Poland sentenced Andre Jones to 32 years in prison on each of three charges — one count of second-degree murder and two counts of first-degree assault — all to be served concurrently. Poland also sentenced Jones to six years in prison for motor vehicle theft and 364 days in prison for resisting arrest, both to be served concurrently with the 32-year sentences. In August, a Jefferson County jury found Jones guilty of second-degree attempted murder, multiple counts of first-degree assault, aggravated motor vehicle theft and resisting arrest, according to court records. Jones stabbed Wheat Ridge officer Allan Fischer 12 times in April 2022 — 10 times in the neck, once in the chest and once in the back — when Fischer responded to reports of a stolen U-Haul rental truck that had crashed into a fence. Fischer’s daughter, Kylee, said she was in the final days of field training at the Wheat Ridge police department and was working when her father was stabbed. “All I could hear over the radio was screaming,” Kylee Fischer, said Thursday morning.
