Woman arrested in Cheyenne on charges of stabbing passenger in vehicle and fabricating report
A Cheyenne, Wyoming woman faces serious criminal charges for a stabbing incident that occurred in a car and for allegedly creating a false version of events to hide the attack.
Veronica Alijah Olivares, 35, was arrested by Cheyenne authorities on June 17 on suspicion of aggravated assault with a dangerous weapon and causing bodily harm. The detainee is considered innocent until her guilt is established or she admits to the crime in court proceedings.
According to a sworn statement, police received a call on the morning of April 1, heading to a convenience store located on East Lincolnway. At the time, Olivares informed the police that she had been attacked several times in the face by a passenger, inside an SUV, and stated that she had used a pocket knife in self-defense after the victim stole her cell phone.
However, the commercial establishment’s security recordings revealed that Olivares left through a different entrance than the one mentioned in his report. Experts also noted that the passenger seat, where the woman claimed the attack occurred, was empty.
A subsequent review of Olivares’ medical records, dated May, indicated that a CT scan of his head did not show any type of fracture.

The driver of the car and the individual who suffered the injury later presented a version of events that differed from the initial narrative to the police. Both reported having found Olivares in a state of intoxication and emotional imbalance at a residence on Avenida Duff, just before an argument began in the back seat of the vehicle. The victim pushed Olivares, who reacted by stabbing her in the arm, according to the statement.
The driver informed authorities that Olivares then pointed the blood-stained knife in his direction and demanded that they proceed to the convenience store. The driver then dropped Olivares off at his residence and later removed a small stain of blood from the interior of the car, according to investigators.
At the establishment, the police officers who arrived at the scene only observed a discreet reddish stain on Olivares’ nose and a little blood on his hands. The woman did not have any recent injuries that could confirm her claim that she was brutally beaten, according to the investigators’ statement. The police managed to recover a pocket knife belonging to Olivares, which had traces of blood on the blade and handle.
