The woman accused of shooting at her boyfriend’s house and car last December on the east side of Saratoga this past December has pled guilty to attempted manslaughter.
Twenty-nine-year-old Victoria Rose Tidball is accused of firing over 40 pistol rounds at the home and vehicle of her then boyfriend, Bradley McBride.
Court documents state that in the early morning hours of December 16, 2023, Tidball and McBride, who were dating at the time, had a heated argument after McBride mentioned he wanted to sell his dog. Following the agreement, Tidball allegedly retrieved a Glock handgun from her truck and fired at McBride’s home and vehicle. The victim, who lives on the 300 block of North Veterans Street in Saratoga, was uninjured in the attack.
After the shooting, Tidball fled with 32-year-old bartender Cody Ellenson. Tidball was arrested 11 days later in Dawson County, Nebraska. The Carbon County Prosecutor’s Officer filed eight charges against the female suspect, including attempted first-degree murder.
Tidball was arraigned on March 18th, when she pleaded not guilty to all charges.
During a pretrial conference on June 17th, Tidball agreed to plead guilty to one count of attempted voluntary manslaughter, a charge that carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. The suspect will be sentenced on October 14th.
