Chad Diener appears in court
YUMA, AZ- A man who barricaded himself from police after allegedly assaulting a woman with a box cutter has been charged.
Chad Diener appeared in Yuma Justice Court Thursday afternoon.
The Yuma County Attorney's Office filed a felony complaint against the 36 year old.
He's being charged with three counts of aggravated assault. Two of those offenses have to do with a minor.
Diener was arrested early Tuesday morning after a 5 hour stand-off with Yuma Police in the 2500 block of S Virginia Drive.
YPD says Diener got into an altercation with a 40 year old woman and her 8 year old son Monday evening.
They say the woman received non-life threatening injuries from a box cutter Diener had.
The state requested Diener's bond be reduced to $250,000. However, a prosecutor was not present to explain why they wanted it reset to that amount.
Judge Gregory Stewart kept Diener's bond at $400,000.
He's due back in court for a pre-preliminary hearing on October 12 at 4 p.m.
