A Riverside woman has been sentenced to prison after she was accused of shooting her roommate in the neck.

Nicole Lee Hill, 38, was sentenced by Montgomery County Common Pleas Judge Timothy O’Connell to two to three years in prison after she took a deal earlier this month to plead guilty to one count of felonious assault.

As part of the plea agreement, Hill agreed to a definite prison term of two years followed by up to five years of parole, as well as to forfeiting a Ruger P97d handgun used in the shooting. Another count of felonious assault and two firearm specifications were dismissed.

At the time of writing, Hill was in custody at the Montgomery County Jail.

The charges reach back to June 19, when Riverside police responded to the 3000 block of Old Troy Pike and found a man lying in the road, according to Riverside Police Department Road Patrol Maj. Angela Jackson, who spoke to us later that same month.

Jackson said that a witness told officers that the suspect, later identified as Hill, fled the scene.

The man, who was Hill’s roommate, was taken to the hospital in stable condition, where he stayed for over 24 hours, according to municipal court documents.

Police obtained a search warrant for their house and arrested Hill.
