Roy Gene Seagraves (DOB 4/3/1961) was arrested in Longmont, CO around 10:15 a.m. today, June 27, 2013. Longmont police received a tip that Seagraves was seen in the 1500 block of Main Street. Longmont officers arrested Seagraves without incident and he has been booked in the Boulder County Jail on charges of First Degree Attempted Murder and First Degree Assault. His bond has been set at $500,000.

 

Boulder police linked Seagraves to an assault which occurred earlier this month. Investigators believe Seagraves attacked an 18-year-old man with a pair of scissors on June 15, 2013, around 10:21 p.m. The assault occurred in the area of 13th and Spruce Streets.

 

Boulder detectives received an anonymous tip from someone who identified Seagraves from a composite sketch released by Boulder police. The sketch matched a recent booking photo taken at the Boulder County Jail.

 

The night of the attack, the male victim told police he was walking with a female friend when an unknown male, wielding a pair of scissors, attacked him. The suspect held the scissors to the victim’s throat, but the victim was able to wrest the scissors away from the suspect. The victim was treated at the hospital for cuts and abrasions he received during the scuffle; his female friend was not injured. The investigation indicates that the attack was unprovoked.

 

The case number is 13-7877.
