Roberts-Cole Gets Probation in Granddaughter’s Death

The grandmother of a seven year old girl killed in an accidental shooting last year gets probation for her role in the death.

51 year old Julie Roberts-Cole pleaded guilty in last October to one count of obstruction of a peace officer.

She was sentenced to one year of probation and 20 weekends in the Adams County Jail by Judge Scott Larson.

Roberts-Cole is alleged to have withheld information on the location of a rifle used in the shooting death of Melina Torres in May of 2016 at a family gathering near Beverly.

Roberts-Cole is the last of four people to be sentenced in connection with Torres’ death.
