Rock Springs man arrested, charged with Attempted Murder in the First Degree

A bond of $250,000 has been set for a Rock Springs man charged with Attempted Murder in the First Degree and Battery Against a Household Member. Sweetwater County Detective Dick Blust, Jr. says that 56 year old Ernest Eugene Richmond was arrested by county deputies at his home west of Rock Springs on July 26th.






Richmond got onto Interstate 80, headed toward Rock Springs. After turning on the cruise control while going around 80 miles per hour, Cathcart said that Richmond repeatedly hit her, kicked her and attempted to kick her out of the speeding vehicle.






Cherry also observed several other injuries that were also consistent with Cathcart's statement that Richmond continually kicked her in his attempt to get her out of the moving vehicle. Richmond is also charged with Battery Against a Household Member. His $250,000 cash or surety bond was set in Circuit Court in Rock Springs on July 29th. A preliminary hearing has been set for August 6th.
