GERING — Charges against a woman who was in a Gering motel room at the time of a fatal shooting will not be filed until a grand jury has time to investigate.
The woman was arrested May 2 on suspicion of obstruction of justice and harboring a fugitive. Authorities have said she was in the room when 46-year-old William “Curt’’ Gibb reportedly shot himself.
Scotts Bluff County Attorney Derek Weimer has said Gibb shot himself after wounding a sheriff’s deputy who was tried to serve an arrest warrant on him.
Weimer said Thursday that he will not charge the woman until the grand jury finishes its investigation, but his office retains to do so at a later time.
