Man arrested for attacking police officers appears in court

The man who was arrested after attacking two police officers and stealing an officer’s gun appeared in court Tuesday.

Forty-one-year-old Ralph Sivyer was taken into custody in June and was wanted on multiple felony charges from prior cases.

Sivyer appeared out of custody for a final management conference.

Sivyer’s attorney requested 30 more days so he could review the change of plea agreement and discuss it with Sivyer.

The judge agreed and set the next court appearance as a final management conference and change of plea for next month.

ORIGINAL STORY: Yuma man facing fewer charges prior to assaulting police officers

Sivyer was wanted for possession of a weapon by a prohibited person and prohibited weapon-manufacturing.
It wasn’t until Yuma Police Department approached Sivyer in early June in a traffic stop when he assaulted two officers and took off with one of their handguns.
